Whenever our community is faced with a crisis, whenever we see a neighbor who needs support, our Y stands ready to help with open arms and caring hearts. Thanks to generous donors like you, The Greater Wyoming Valley Area YMCA is doing BIG things in our region- providing safe, nurturing spaces for children to learn, grow, and thrive.
Because we know you share a passion for this community, we are excited to invite you to the Annual Kentucky Derby event. The 2024 event successfully raised over $130,000 in support of programming and an endowment to further expand these critical services.
Our YMCA has consistently increased capacity for feeding programs and much-needed child care services to address some of our biggest challenges. The Kentucky Derby event has been part of the catalyst of growth for the Y, allowing us to:
-Proudly serve working families at six different child care sites in Luzerne County
-Provide over150,000 healthy meals and snacks to over 950 children and youth in just per year
-Ensure high quality care, now hosting three Keystone STAR 4 child care branches
-Continue to expand into new communities as we work collectively to ensure the best services and outreach for our area
As we prepare for the Sixth Annual Kentucky Derby event, we are looking forward to coming together again to celebrate youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
