Dear YMCA Family and Friends
It goes without saying, 2020 has been a year like no other. We are grateful for the kindness, support, and generosity you have shown us this year. While our doors closed to traditional membership and programs in March due to the pandemic, the Y did not close. Our staff and volunteers stepped up to support children, adults and families that were adversely impacted by the pandemic.
Our CATALYST INITIATIVE community outreach work provided meals & produce, basic household essentials, blood drives, computer giveaways, clothing drives, donated items and other services. After re-opening, we have seen a slow but steady increase in people coming back and enjoying the programs and services our Dallas Y has to offer. The Y maintained health and safety standards to keep people safe and have encouraged eligible adults to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
The Y continued to offer fitness, virtual exercise, programs and virtual events to serve our members and program participants. In November, we celebrated 135 years of serving North Texas. We’re excited about our strategic plan designed to eliminate childhood drowning, address mental health, better serve our communities, and re-imagine programs and services across North Texas.
We’re looking forward to fully recovering from the impact of the pandemic and growing to serve more people in our community. Thank you for your continued service, support, time and prayers.
