#GivingTuesdayNow

Dear Friends,

#GivingTuesdayNow is an opportunity for people around the world to stand together in unity – to use their individual power of generosity to remain connected and heal.

During this time of crisis, the Albany Area YMCA is working with community partners to support our neighbors and meet urgent and essential needs in our community, and we need your help to continue these efforts.

With the help of our generous Y supporters, including many of you reading this message, we continue to do everything we can to serve as a source of hope and stability in our communities. A few examples of this important work include:

• One weeks’ worth of boxed meals, produce and dairy products served to over 1300 families
• Childcare for essential workers at both our Central Albany branch and our Y.E.S. Easter Seals location
• Outdoor Fitness classes offered to support a safe, gradual, and measured reopening
 

We are thankful to play a role in serving those around us and provide resources for families and neighbors to get through these unique times in a healthy way. We can’t do any of this without you!

Many neighbors have stepped forward with a gift to sustain the Y and those we serve during this time. If you have already made a donation, thank you!

Any additional gifts are welcome and needed more than ever to keep our mission moving forward. Your ongoing support is a critical investment in helping us meet evolving needs within our local communities and sustaining our valued staff. Your gift will also assist the Y as our community begins the tough work of recovery in the time ahead.

Please join us in giving back through the Y by participating in Giving Tuesday Now.

Respectfully,

Dan Gillan

President & CEO
