Dear Valued Y Community,
These are indeed difficult times for everyone in the community. Many have been impacted by the recent efforts of the nation to slow the transmission of the COVID-19 virus. State and Federal government are continuing to concentrate on ways to support the nation. The Fergus Falls YMCA is doing the same!
Our community has been extremely supportive of the YMCA and its mission. Your continued support is crucial to our efforts to work with the community to provide services throughout the community.
The recent mandate to temporarily close our facility has not slowed our continued service of the community. We are continuing to reach out into the community to fill gaps that have been created in the recent days. This is the charge of YMCAs across the country and we are no different.
Today, more than ever, the Y is demonstrating that it is more than a fitness facility
and you are more than just a member/donor!
Now, more than ever in the
over 51 years
of your Y, is it clear that your membership/donations are going directly to aiding your community! The Fergus Falls YMCA is partnering with state and local community leaders to provide the following:
- Collectively partnering with the State of Minnesota and other Ys to provide childcare
- Ensure there is adequate childcare for employees who work in essential services that meet the COVID guidelines
- Coordination with local leaders to address food insecurities
- Coordinating and partnering with local organizations to broaden outreach services
We are reaching out to you to ask you to continue to partner with us so we can continue to work on relieving the burden the community is facing. This cannot happen without your support. Please recognize the significant impact of what your membership/donation truly does for this community.
We’re asking you to continue to support us on our mission. Our doors may have been forced to temporarily close but our work and our mission has not. Please continue to stay with us as we continue to invest in our community. Keeping your membership active is crucial during this difficult time.
Eric Price
Executive Director
