ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- The St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of YWCA renovations.

The non-profit organization just finished the construction of its new bathrooms. The project began back in September of 2024.

The YWCA originally had two communal bathrooms for those who utilize the facility. Now they have eight individual bathrooms.

YWCA CEO Danielle Brown talked about the impact these renovations have already had.

"The look on people's faces when they went into brand new bathrooms. Just to know, this is for me. The staff even, like, it was a boost to the staff to know that we were investing in those people that we serve," said Brown.
