YWCA Union County: Empowering Women

Century+ old organization aids women and children in a number of ways.

While the YWCA Union County has been serving the community for over a century, they had a forced new beginning in 2019 when their headquarters in Elizabeth burned to the ground. The building may have been lost, but the work continued. Today, the organization is preparing to move into a rebuilt facility.

On this week’s episode, I speak with Kathryn Lynch, the interim executive director and Cranford resident Laura Johnson, who serves as the vice president of the board. We chat about the work of the organization, especially how they assist survivors of domestic abuse.
