YMCA of Greenville’s mission is to help everyone in our community build healthy minds, spirits + bodies – especially during times like these.

Here are a few of the ways the Y is lending a helping hand as Greenville families face COVID-19, and how you can participate or give back:

Providing emergency childcare (hard to come by right now) to area medical personnel, first responders + other essential workers on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19
Distributing meals to neighborhood families at the Judson Community Center, in partnership with Street Church Ministries and Greenville County Schools
Delivering food to senior facilities using YMCA buses
Offering free virtual workouts on their website, on Facebook + via the Flex Fit app to help community members maintain their health (including fun at-home challenges like the spell-your-name workout)

Here’s how you can help:

With the YMCA’s doors being shut, revenue is considerably down. The Y is encouraging community members to keep their memberships + consider donating so the nonprofit can continue to help families until (and after) their doors reopen. Not a Y member? You can join online.

You can also help spread the word about the work the Y is doing – and how fellow Greenvillians can help them in return – by sharing this article.
