As an active member of the community, Morello Italian Bistro hosted and sponsored YWCA Greenwich’s 95th Anniversary Supporter Appreciation Party Tuesday, July 15. The event thanked contributors for helping to support YWCA initiatives and programs since the Greenwich chapter’s founding in 1919.

It is the oldest and largest multicultural women’s organization in the world. In the United States, the YWCA, founded in 1858, has more than 1,300 sites that serve over two million people.
