Welcome to the YWCA in Lynchburg, VA!

YWCA Central Virginia eliminates racism and empowers women through a variety of services provided at our two facilities:
YW Town Center
Our main building, located in downtown Lynchburg, serves as residential and transitional housing for women as well as the site for our many programs.
Domestic Violence Prevention Center
Our shelter provides a safe place for women and children escaping violent homes. The Center provides emergency housing, food, couseling, court advocacy, support groups, legal services, and a 24-hour hotline. Please call 528-1041 or click here for more information.
