YMCA reaches out to community in annual campaign

NORWICH – For 150 years, the Norwich Family YMCA has kept sights on its mission to help build strong communities. Now, the YMCA is seeking the community support it needs to help build a strong YMCA. The not-for-profit organization launched its annual fundraising and support campaign this month, an integral undertaking that upholds its mission.

Each year, the Norwich Family YMCA looks to the benevolence of local residents during its Reach Out to Your Community Campaign. Monetary donations help support scholarship programs that directly benefit youth, teens, adults, families and seniors with memberships. Moreover, it sustains various programs, including its Unemployment Membership Program and the Open Doors Scholarship Program – the most influential program offered by the YMCA as it provides hundreds of people access to the facility and all of its services.
