As the Director of Healthy Living I can immediately see the difference our  programs make in our participants.  From programs such as Enhance Fitness for those with Arthritis to the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program, lives are transformed for the better through lifestyle changes that include movement, socialization, and positive changes in food choices. Each year, the Fanwood-Scotch Plains YMCA offers over $300,000 in financial assistance to those in our community in need of support. This is largely supported by gifts to their Annual Campaign, which goes toward programming such as summer day camp, chronic disease prevention, swim lessons, child care, leadership programs, healthy living initiatives and more. The YMCA believes that everyone deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive and their mission is to never turn anyone away due to their inability to pay. No matter the size, a gift provides opportunity. Together, we can change the life of a child, adult, senior or family in our community. Won't you help your neighbor?
