This Giving Tuesday season, you could support community-building programs for local kids, families, and older adults by making a donation to the Greater Johnstown Community YMCA. Here are just a few programs your gift can support:

• Midnight basketball, a safe haven for area youth on Friday and Saturday nights. Help provide positive role models, skill-building opportunities, and recreational fun for area youth.
• Family Pumpkin Swim, a wholesome family activity.
• Active Older Adult Exercise, an approach to wellness in a social atmosphere.

Your generosity means more children and teens have a chance to connect, learn, and grow; more families  have a chance to spend time together and build relationships; and more seniors can enjoy social interactions. You’re giving the gift of community- and relationship-building. You can make an easy, secure  online donation today (or give a donation in someone else’s name as a meaningful holiday gift) by clicking the button below.
