Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and dad figures at our YMCA! Thank you for all you do to keep families and our community healthy and strong. Did you know that Father’s Day started at the Y? Over 110 years ago, a young woman raised by her single father wanted to celebrate fatherhood. The first Father’s Day celebration was held at the Spokane YMCA on June 19, 1910.

Thank you to everyone who donated books for our Summer Day Camp book drive! As you can see from the picture below, we had a great response from our wonderful community. These books will give our campers plenty of new and engaging stories to read this summer.

Since we had to close early today let’s all get outside and take part in the #thinkbigsnowmanchallenge. Build a snowman, take a picture and post it to FB tagging ThinkBIG Pediatric Cancer Fund. Every tagged post will lead to a $10 donation directed to ThinkBig.

As we celebrate the end of 2020 and look forward to what the New Year may bring, let’s look back and remember the good things from this past year. First and foremost, we would like to thank our members, volunteers and staff who stayed with us and supported our efforts to keep our community strong. You are what made everything we did possible. The River Valley Regional YMCA found new ways to serve not only our members, but our community as well. We partnered with other organiz...ations to serve food and supplies to those in need. We worked with the American Red Cross to host blood drives and help combat blood shortages. We reached out to our senior members for well-checks, and provided online wellness resources. Once we were able to open our Child Care Facilities we gave children a safe place while parents went back to work and provided School Age Child Care while schools were remote. We learned how to be creative with spacing out equipment and following all the guidelines given to us. A few branch specific highlights include: Our Bradford County Branch successfully moved to being a 24 hour facility providing more time for members to come in due to limited capacity. We are excited to announce the Tioga County Branch will soon be 24 hours as well! The Williamsport Branch helped more than 50 local families with food and gifts for Christmas and the Eastern Lycoming Branch held a warm clothing drive for families in their Safe Spaces Program. The Lock Haven Branch held a drive-up food pantry and our Jersey Shore Branch helped distribute thousands of free student lunches. Over the Edge Williamsport 2020 climbed to new heights with a rappel from the roof of the Genetti Hotel in downtown Williamsport. We look forward to planning Over the Edge 2021 with the YWCA of Northcentral PA and the Williamsport Area School District Education Foundation. It was amazing to see everything we could do when we all work together and we can’t wait to serve you in 2021. Have a happy and safe New Year’s Eve from the River Valley Regional YMCA. See more
