More than 500 friends and supporters of YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee shopped and sipped for a good cause during the seventh annual Wine Women & Shoes at the Music City Center. The event was presented by Regions, and proceeds support the YWCA’s Domestic Violence Services programs, including the Weaver Domestic Violence Center, the 24-Hour Crisis & Support Helpline, and Re-New at the YWCA.
