The LCD Team gathered and donated women’s clothing, accessories, books, and furniture items to Julia's Closet at The YWCA in San Pedro. Since 1918, The YWCA has provided services to women, girls and their families through a variety of programs and has been a pioneer in the fight for racial and social change. Julia’s Closet Thrift Store is one of many programs The YWCA offers and their motto is “Empower Women, One Purchase At A Time.”
The YWCA Thirft Store is named after Julia Morgan because she is the first licensed woman architect in California. She designed over 30 Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA) buildings! In 1918, Julia designed the YWCA in San Pedro, which is the last standing Julia Morgan building still used as a YWCA.
Her gift in architecture and support for women organization’s is why we chose Julia as our July/August Trailblazer. Read Julia’s full story here.
