“We need to support women so that they can continue this hard work. It’s really hard to stick your neck out and do the hard work that needs to be done that makes a difference in our community. These women need to be recognized to support that work and help it continue,” said Sarah Priest YWCA Board President.
This year’s luncheon was dedicated to the Domestic Violence Education and Support services offered by the YWCA.
