COMMITTED TO OUR COMMUNITY 120 YEARS OF SERVICE
2020 has truly been a unique year for our community; a year full of challenges and concern, with bright spots of compassion. Amidst the global COVID-19 pandemic, one thing remained certain—our Y was here to support our community, as we have done every day for the past120 years.
James Masterson Chief Volunteer Officer
In hindsight, it is rather appropriate that our YMCA celebrated our 120th Anniversary while strongly focused on our housing and social services programs. Our roots in the community began with a need for housing in 1900. As a leading non-profit dedicated to strengthening community, we work every day to meet the needs of our most vulnerable neighbors through essential services such as housing, child care, WISE adult services, wellness and chronic disease management.
Krystal R. Canady Chief Executive Officer
Words cannot express our gratitude for your support as we worked together to ensure that everyone in our community remained connected and cared for in 2020.
Our wish is for a new year filled with Hope, Happiness and Health for all! THE GATEWAY FAMILY YMCA
