Forever in Service: Annual Campaign & Giving Tuesday 12/1

"This has been a tumultuous year, but the Bath Y provided our whole family with a sense of stability," a parent wrote us recently.

In fact, every year our Y responds to the needs of the community, and in that sense, 2020 is no different. From distributing over 15,000 meals to kids and families, essential child care and outreach to seniors, we couldn't do it without your help. Thank you for supporting the Y's annual campaign. Forever in service-for a better us.
For a Safer Us

We just want to remind our members that if you've traveled out of state in the past 14 days, you will need to quarantine for 14 days or provide proof of a negative PCR test according to CDC guidelines.
Healthy Living

Youth & Families
Local Police Chiefs Recognize YMCA Partnership with Schools in Providing Hybrid Care in the Community
In the time of COVID-19, developing partnerships to support safe, nurturing places for children is more important than ever. We are grateful to our local law enforcement, Bath Chief of Police Mike Field and Brunswick Chief of Police Scott Stewart, who recently shared their perspective in a joint letter to the Times Record-Portland Press Herald.

"...Whether a parent is out of work and job-searching, in school, working from home, or is an essential or frontline worker, kids need a safe and supportive place to go so that their parents have peace of mind knowing their kids are in good care... Support for partnerships like the one between the Brunswick-Bath public schools and the Bath YMCA-and more like them-are now truly an essential service that helps meet the needs of students and parents."

Join us in giving back as we support their virtual food drive this year! Funds donated through MCHPP's Virtual Food Drive will be used to purchase the Food Bank's most needed items.
