For my husband the Y has been a life-changing experience.Unemployment can be hard on a family, especially if you are actively looking for work. The Y has been a stress

reliever for my husband and our entire family.

“”

You may know of people in our community whose experiences are similar. Having an impact

like this is one reason that the South Shore YMCA is investing in a new facility in Quincy. The

new Y will provide an expanded Early Learning Center where working families can have

peace of mind that their children are safe and thriving, a health & well-being center for all

ages, teen programming, and vibrant spaces where families can participate together in

healthy activities. The Y’s collaborations with other health care providers will make this facility

a focal point for community well-being.

Construction is moving quickly, and we expect to complete the new facility by this

October. Follow the progress on our website and learn how you can help the Y lead theway in youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Our Capital Campaign

Community Phase is underway and provides

opportunities for naming places within the

building and outside on the grounds. If

you wish to make a donation, contact

Bruce Haas at 617-479-8500, ext. 249 or
