The unanticipated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic forever changed the community and the YMCA mobilized almost overnight to meet those demands while also being severely impacted by the pandemic itself via membership and budget shortfalls. There has never been a more critical time to support the work of the YMCA. Over the past two years, we have redesigned programs to meet the community need, and put an emphasis on ending isolation, inspiring our youth to thrive while reimagining opportunities, all in an effort to restore hope and well-being to our community.
