YMCA of the Roses

The Y appreciates our community partners for their support in our efforts to assist the community!

What an incredible day! On October 11, we hosted our LIVESTRONG at the YMCA golf outing at Regents' Glen Country Club, and it was a huge success! A heartfelt thank you to all the golfers who participated, our amazing staff and volunteers, and the fantastic team at the country club for hosting us. A special shoutout to our Diamond sponsors: The W. Dale Brougher Foundation, Hanover Auto Team, and WellSpan Health. Your generous support makes a world of difference!

Because of all of you, cancer survivors can participate in our LIVESTRONG at the YMCA programs for free. Together, we are making a difference! 

Today, October 14, is #IndigenousPeoplesDay. To honor the contributions and to stand in solidarity with Native and Indigenous communities, the Y encourages you to learn more about this important holiday from the people and communities themselves. Click through to learn more.

We all have mental health. On #WorldMentalHealthDay, the YMCA of the Roses invites you to learn more about how we support mental health – whether it’s through fostering connections among our community members, creating a sense of belonging for all, building strong relationships, providing safe spaces for everyone, or simply demonstrating empathy and compassion in all interactions. We are committed to the mental health and wellbeing of our York and Lancaster communities. Remember, it's important to take time for yourself.

If you’re able to help, Pennsylvania YMCAs are rallying together to support the YMCA of Western North Carolina’s food distribution center by collecting contributions. Any support can make a real difference to those affected by Hurricane Helene. ❤️ See the ways you can help below.

We’ve all experienced moments where we felt like we didn’t belong, but together we can change that. During this year’s Welcoming Week—and throughout the year—let’s build bridges of understanding and remember that belonging begins with us. #WelcomingWeek2024
