In every town that too. Grace Emery. the Biederwolf entourage visited, Brake did her By 1915, more and more women were workpart by encouraging the establishment of “Young ing outside the home, as office workers, store Christian Women’s League” organizations which clerks, telephone operators, and businesswomen. In May would gather all interested women to live together with a 1915, a Presbyterian evangelist named William Biederwolf common goal of “the mental, physical and spiritual welfare came to town, erected a huge wooden tabernacle in a large of girls and women, whose desire it is to help, unselfishly and field adjacent to Jackson Avenue and Rosedale Avenue, and intelligently, all girls and women in the community.” spoke to local businesses, factories, and organizations during The headquarters of the League, with offices and activity
areas were located on the second floor of the Pennzoil garage building, also on Boylston Street. The League rented a nearby two-story house at 36 Boylston Street, and converted it to a residence. The rent paid by the women who lived there funded the expenses of running the house and the salary of the new Director, Mrs. Lois G. Scott. Classes on bible study, dressmaking, china painting, cooking, first aid, home nursing, and dramatics were taught. There were gym classes were taught at the high school, and a hiking class, and choral singing. In short, everything a young woman would need to become a well-rounded person were provided by the League. The YWCA began on a local level, but just 9 years after on April 28, 1924, incorporated under the name of Young Women’s Christian Association of Bradford, “for purposes beneficial to its members, and particularly for the association and co-operation of the young women of the City of Bradford and its vicinity in educational development and united charitable enterprise.” Some of the first charter members were Grace Emery, Sarah Hamsher, Helen Schonblom, Ethel Andrus, Genevieve Curtis, Ida Sloan, Janet Brooks, Maude Moore, and several other prominent women in the Bradford area.

Year 'round celebration There's been men marching in high heels, a lunch honoring past leaders, and a tea and historical fashion show – all to celebrate our 100th birthday in Bradford. And it's not over yet! The YWCA Bradford's centennial events began in earnest this April when approximately 125 men and boys walked up Main Street as part of "Walk a Mile in her Shoes," a men's march to fight rape, sexual assault and gender violence. The centennial event was the second time the YWCA has hosted the event in Bradford. Held April 23, it raised money for the Victims Resource Center. With a keynote address from Lee Doynow, a former Bradford executive director, we honored women who have played a significant role in the agency and the community at the annual Leader Luncheon, held this year to mark our big birthday. Held at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford on June 17, this year's event was the 18th to honor extraordinary community women who foster growth and development through service, leadership and dedication. The highlight of the summer undoubtedly was our YWCA Centennial Tea Party and Period Fashion Show held on a sweltering day in July. More than 30 women modeled clothing from the past hundred years -- everything from women in military uniform, to teens wearing poodle skirts, to hippies, and beyond. Serving as co-chairmen were Lee Doynow and Karen Costello-Pecht. The event also unveiled a specially created signature dessert in recognition of our history and mission. A string ensemble entertained guests as they supped on various cuisine at the conclusion of the fashion show. On Aug. 12, YW board and staff manned a table filled with cupcakes and a centennial cake as part of "Lunch in the Square" in Veterans Square. Serving up goodies and awareness was also on tap Sept. 17 as the YW hosted an open house as part of the Chamber of Commerce's Business After Hours. The final event of the centennial will be a Boo! Day Celebration, a Halloween-themed party to be held from noon-4 p.m. Oct. 24 at the Y. Highlights include a costume contest for kids, and pie baking competition for the adults. The free event is open to the public.

YWCA looks toward the future By PAT FRANTZ CERCONE For Vanessa Castano, executive director of the YWCA, the future of the organization is simple: Expand and enhance services to empower everyone, including men. That may sound a little strange since part of the YW’s tagline is “empowering women,” but Castano says it makes perfect sense. “When you empower men, you empower women. When you empower families, you empower women. When you empower boys and girls, you empower women. “We’re all interconnected. Just empowering women means we’re doing a disservice.” Therefore, the YW’s five-year strategic plan includes expanding and enhancing many of its programs to fill the growing needs in

But the homeless are here. the services they offer. The “The face of homelessness in McKean Housing and Employment Services program, County is different than in urban areas,” she or HES, provides the only homeless shelsaid.

Though homelessness may not be obvious, Currently, the homeless shelter, which it’s a significant problem, one Castano and the rest of the YW board know they need to (Continued, Page 11)

Philosophically, Castano says, the YW needs to provide services in the best way possible to make homeless men and women more independent so they can escape the grip of homelessness. “Simply providing shelter isn’t the only answer. If they can’t maintain a home, we’re spinning our wheels.” Therefore, the YW wants to help people become more independent by offering financial literacy programming and career-building tools, including creating a program where people can donate gently used professional clothing that those in need can wear for job interviews. The Victims’ Resource Center Domestic violence is a huge problem, not just in McKean County but everywhere, Castano said, that cuts across all races, genders, ages and economic levels. What makes the problem even bigger is that abuse can take many forms – physical, emotional, financial,

psychological. The Victims’ Resource Center is McKean County’s only provider to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Services include shelter, a 24-hour hotline, crisis and options counseling, legal and medical advocacy and accompaniment, and other services as needed. To continue to combat the problem, Castano said the strategic plans calls for a two-pronged approach: more effectively address victims’ needs, understanding victims can be both men and women. “We need to take a step back and make sure we’re providing services that are needed,” she said. For example, abuse victims may need affordable housing, employment readiness, financial literacy, legal advocacy or referrals to other relevant service providers. Castano said the organization strives to provide a more holistic response to victims so that the service provided matches the needs of the victim, regardless of gender. For instance, men have always been able to seek services at the YW. However, Castano said, “We can’t approach the problem the same way. We need to adjust to meet the needs of each individual.” The same holds true for young children
living in abusive homes whose early development can be adversely affected by the abuse. “Seeing and experiencing abuse can be incredibly impactful on a child’s brain development,” she said. Mental health programs Castano says there’s a significant need in the county for mental health services because so many people have been diagnosed with some form of mental illness. Part of the challenge, she explained, “is we can’t apply the same expectations to these people because they’re dealing with a mental illness.” The YW currently provides two mental health-related programs, which Castano said the organization would like to expand because of a burgeoning need. Through the medication management program, health care professionals visit people who are mentally ill or have an intellectual disability and educate them about the medications they’re taking. The YW also offers these individuals help with daily-living skills so they can live more independently. Both programs, Castano said, help to empower them. (Continued, Page 12)
Congratulations Thank you for all you have done and continue to do in our community. Cheers to the next 100 years of service!

(From, Page 11) Teaching them about their medicine – when to take it, how to take it, its side effects – is liberating and empowering, Castano said. Additionally, helping others with day-to-day skills – grocery shopping, cleaning, laundry – empowers them to live more independently, which ultimately helps everyone. Food pantry Much like homelessness, some area residents may not think hunger is a problem in Bradford. However, the amount of food the YW’s food pantry distributes proves otherwise. “There are so many hungry people,” Castano said. “The pounds of food we give away are staggering.” During the first six months of 2015, the YW distributed nearly 14,000 pounds of food. Those in need can get a food box at the YW once a month that will contain meat, when it’s available, boxed items, cereals, fresh vegetables, and canned fruit and vegetables, enough so people can make a couple of meals. While many people are benefitting from the program, Castano thinks it could be even
better. One way to enhance it is by collaborating with the other local organizations that provide food to conduct coordinated food drives that would result in more donations and the ability to help more hungry people. “A lot of people want to give,” she said. Meals on Wheels The YW has been delivering meals through the Meals on Wheels program since the American Red Cross discontinued the service. Currently, about 34 people receive meals, but there are many others on a waiting list. “I want to see us providing more meals,” Castano said. “I have no doubt that the need exists. We need to meet it.” She said people may think the program is intended only for people who are aged, but that’s not the case. The program is also for people who are homebound, regardless of their age, and those who may have difficulty making themselves a meal. One way the YW can better meet the need, Castano said, is to recruit more volunteer drivers. More drivers would mean more people could be served. Additionally, Castano would like to review ways the meals can be prepared more efficiently. Castano admits all of those goals in the

new strategic plan are ambitious. Is it possible to accomplish all of them in five years? She thinks so. “Are they ambitious? Yes. Are they doable? They have to be. Will we need to be flexible? We’ve got to be.” “I like to set really ambitious goals with the expectation that some barriers you can’t control. You have to remain flexible. You may have to change how you reach them, but eventually we will get there.”
The YWCA Bradford has been a proud recipient of funds from the United Way of the Bradford Area for many years!
