Thanks for
"Staying With Us"! We know these times are difficult for you, so we want to express our thanks for your continued support. Your membership continuation allows us to be responsive to the most urgent community needs.
Please know that you are literally helping to feed children and families, giving life to our most critical neighbors, supporting mental well-being through counseling and social services, conducting personal wellness checks on seniors and vulnerable populations, and promoting good health through Y @ Home virtual connections.
Hear from YMCAs throughout New Jersey who are doing much of the same, stepping up to help however we can and leveraging our collective strength to do our part in this crisis.
ANNOUNCING EMERGENCY Y CHILD CARE
We're pleased to announce the YMCA of Greater Monmouth County now provides emergency child care for first responders and essential personnel to help us flatten the curve.
Infants and children through 5th grade, are invited to experience child care enrichment with the Y.
We hope you've been enjoying our virtual fitness videos with dedicated Y staff to help keep you healthy in spirit, mind and body at home. Join us every morning on our Facebook page to start your day strong with the Y. Here are our latest videos.
We're here for our Y-Kids and families too. Over the last few weeks we've been working with our creative Y staff to produce daily video challenges and engaging STEAM activities that kids can do each day from home.
These activities provide enrichment in fun and interactive ways. Join us online on our Facebook page each afternoon.

Hello, Pat Richter! Thanks for sharing your helpful tips for staying healthy outside of your Y fitness routine:
>
Pretend you have an appointment for exercise every day, just like a zoom call for work, or doing laundry.
>
Take advantage of our great park system when the weather permits.
>
Avoid emotional eating and drinking alcohol
>
Get adequate sleep and limit TV watching to no more than 1.5 hours per day, with a day off once in a while.
