What the YMCA is doing for Greenville as we face COVID-19

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.
