Lynn Murphy Inducted into YWCA Marin Women’s Hall of Fame

The City of San Rafael congratulates Lynn Murphy on her induction into the YWCA Marin Women's Hall of Fame.

Lynn serves as San Rafael's Mental Health Liaison with the San Rafael Police Department and has spent more than a decade connecting people experiencing homelessness with care, services, and support.

In her role, Lynn connects with people living on the street, listens to their stories, and helps link them to services and support. While practical resources matter, Lynn says the most powerful thing she offers is presence - listening, validating, and walking alongside people through difficult moments.

Lynn is also the co-founder of Seeds of Hope, a quarterly service fair and community gathering that serves hundreds of people with meals, wellness services, and connection to care.

Congratulations, Lynn, on this well-deserved honor and your service to the San Rafael community.

About the Program:

Established in 1987, the Marin Women's Hall of Fame recognizes Marin women of distinction, preserves their stories, educates the public on women's contributions, and inspires future generations of women and girls. The Marin Women's Hall of Fame was cofounded by YWCA, AAUW, and the Marin Women's Commission. Before the start of Marin Women's Hall of Fame, virtually no records of women's achievements had been recorded in Marin County.
