MANCHESTER NH – As a leading nonprofit committed to strengthening community through youth development, healthy living, family strengthening, and social responsibility, The Granite YMCA seeks to ensure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has an opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

Each year, The Granite YMCA provides toys, clothing, and more to hundreds of families across the state. This year, the Y wants to give back to everyone. Help make a difference in the community by donating an unwrapped gift to a child in need (ages 0 – 14). From December 1 – 18, new facility members will have their join fee waived if they bring in a donation.

In 2019, over 26,000 people in the community received financial assistance and/or free services through The Granite YMCA. The benefits of a YMCA membership are extensive and include access and privileges at four branches of The Granite YMCA. Membership benefits include: group exercise classes (in-person and virtual), wellness coaching sessions, early registration and savings on summer camp and programs, chronic disease prevention program offerings at all five branches, and more. Amenities vary at each location. For more information, visit www.graniteymca.org/jointoday.
