Dear YMCA Members and Supporters,
Writer William Arthur Ward says it best when speaking about gratitude “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.”
The month of November is a chance to meditate and take inventory of what we are grateful for and how we show it. I can tell you that the Y is extremity grateful for your continued support and belief in our mission to enrich the quality of people's lives spiritually, mentally, physically, and socially. We want to take the month of November to show you, our members, how thankful we are by having an “Attitude of Gratitude”. Throughout the month of November, our Y will be highlighting all the ways we are giving back to our members and our community.
- In lieu of our Prayer Breakfast, we will be having virtual prayers every Monday throughout the month of November
- 10th Annual Bikeathon, pedaling for our Veterans and their families
- Mobile Food Pantry with GCC and Keller William Realty-Glendale, we have given away over 150,000 lbs of food to our community and those in need
- Blood drive with our partners at Huntington Hospital
- Collection of canned goods for our Gratitude Food Drive
- Our upcoming Tree Lot
We ask that you join us in this month of Gratitude. We are truly grateful for so much, but the Y is most thankful for the opportunity to serve you and our community.
