I wouldn't trust the YWCA or even the police to give the money back to me if the rightful owner was never found, so I'd give the YWCA my contact information (a newly created email address that I'd delete after a week), and tell them to have anyone who claimed to have lost a large sum of money to contact me. If someone responded during that week, I'd ask for a description of the bag and the money, and if it checked out, I'd return it.

If I suspected that it was drug money, I'd be much more tempted to keep it, but the fact that this was all hundred dollar bills makes me think it was probably winnings from a casino.
