Established in 1900.

The Gateway Family YMCA was founded on January 11, 1900 by Edgar B. Moore and a small group of community leaders who wanted to provide wholesome housing and activities for the young men who left their families behind and immigrated into the city during the growth of industry at the turn of the twentieth century. Since that day, the YMCA has been one of the leading health and human service organizations in Union County. Beginning with twelve rented rooms above Parson’s Drug Store at 92 Broad Street in Elizabeth, as the population grew in Eastern Union County, so did the YMCA. We now deliver programs and services through four branches and more than 30 program sites. We are proud of the lives we’ve touched and the difference we’ve been able to make in Eastern Union County and Northern Middlesex County.
