What's Happening at the Y This November?

By Kelsey Mumm, YMCA; Celia Even, Macaroni KID November 7, 2024

As the weather gets cooler, we encourage you to invest in your health at a program like the local YMCA. Joining the Y can keep you active and healthy throughout the frigid Iowa winters, PLUS in November, you can join on Thursdays for half off of the join fee.

We also want to remind you that it's the Season for Giving!

If you are looking to make a big difference in your community this year, we invite you to help sponsor a Christmas meal for our Y families that are struggling to make ends meet this holiday season. This year has been especially hard on so many families in the Cedar Valley and we are looking to provide meals for our YMCA families to make this holiday season a lesser burden financially. We have over 40(!) families that are needing assistance and we need your help to provide a holiday meal for them. 

You can donate directly to the YMCA Christmas baskets program, or shop for the items in need using the provided list from the YMCA:


Direct donations can be made HERE

If you have any questions you can contact the Family YMCA of Black Hawk County for different ways to support those in need in our community.
