2018 WAS A YEAR OF GREAT GROWTH AT THE GREATER VALLEY YMCA

The Y is So Much More than a place to workout and go swimming. We are a nonprofit

organization meeting key community needs and providing essential resources for all. With all

Ys in the Lehigh Valley operating under the Greater Valley YMCA structure, we have been able

to address more social issues, provide more financial assistance, collaborate with more

nonprofits and become more financially stable.

This year, the Y stepped out of our facilities and stepped up in our communities, leveraging

our resources to address key social needs. We opened five summer feeding sites where

children who may otherwise go hungry could receive nutritious meals and snacks. We launched

the Allentown Warming Station, supporting homeless neighbors in a dignified, warm

atmosphere, keeping them out of the cold and connecting them to additional resources. We

hope you will read on to learn more about all of the ways your Y served the community

throughout 2018.

Additional savings from our merged structure continue to benefit the Y’s growth. Throughout

2018, we invested more than $600,000 in our facilities. We also received more than

$150,000 in new investment dollars, allowing us to accomplish even more projects. At the Y,

we are committed to innovating our services, scaling our abilities and growing our financial

strength in order to improve our programming and community spaces.

And yet with all of these accomplishments, we recognize our greatest success is in providing

young children with quality, educational childcare while their parents work; offering physical

activity and companionship to active older adults; surrounding the cancer survivor or diabetes

patient with resources while on their journey to health; or teaching teens healthy habits

through mentorship after school. Day in and day out, the Y is here providing all of these

opportunities and more to thousands of Valley neighbors. In each of these moments, we know

the Y is successfully meeting our mission.

Every step of the way, the Y has been blessed by the support of dedicated Board Members,

staff, volunteers and partners connected by our mission. We know the Y’s continued

metamorphosis is only made possible thanks to your support. Thank you for your ongoing

championship of the Y, and we look forward to all of the emerging ways our Y can help our

community accomplish So Much More.

In Service,

SO MUCH MORE...

MEETING COMMUNITY NEEDS COLD NIGHTS, WARM HEARTS

Warming Station

In its first season, the Greater Valley YMCA, Allentown Branch’s

Warming Station offered the homeless population a safe place to

sleep, a warm shower and a sense of community to our neighbors

in need. Our neighbors filled the Warming Station to capacity many

nights throughout the season. The Y’s Warming Station opened

November 1, 2018 and ended April 30, 2019, focusing on serving

as a community safe haven during the cold months.

In November, the Warming Station provided 900 beds*, serving a

high of 49 guests on November 20th, consisting of 32 men and

17 women. In December, the Warming Station served a high of 54

guests, and filled a total of 1,358 beds within the month.

The Warming Station continued to provide warm beds through

April 2019 and will do so again starting in November 2019.

2,258 Beds filled at the

Warming Station from Nov to Dec 2018

3,710 Free Meals served through the 2018 Summer Feeding

NOURISHING THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN

Y Summer Food Program

One in six children in the U.S. don’t know where their next meal

is coming from.

The summer is a particularly vulnerable time for kids who rely on

free or reduced-price meals during the school year. At the Y, we

know that children who receive daily nutrition are set up to

succeed. That’s why we’re helping kids reach their full potential by

providing free access to healthy snacks and meals when school’s

out for summer. In 2018, five Open Summer Feeding Sites served

3,710 meals.

Twelve Open Sites will operate in 2019 to nourish even more

children in need.

To put Christian principles into practice through programs

that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. OUR

MISSION

* The term “filled beds” reflects the number of beds occupied each evening, and does include duplicate counts of unique individuals.

A NEW LEASE ON LIFE

For the first two years after her husband’s passing, Joan describes her life as

“in a rut.” Without a new routine or social network, and given a few joint

replacements, Joan found herself staying at home, inactive and “hiding away.”

When her physical therapist suggested joining the Y, Joan was unsure. But after

working up the courage Joan called the Y and scheduled an orientation. Thanks

to friendly staff, the assistance of her health insurance company and the Y, Joan

was enrolled in SilverSneakers classes the next week. In these classes she made

friends, became more active and built a new routine. Today Joan is a fierce

advocate of joining the Y family, stating, “If anyone is in the same spot I was,

don't hesitate. Make the call— it’s like a new lease on life.”

At the Y, Joan was able to find a new community of support. Each year the Y

supports thousands of active older adults seeking fitness, social connection and

a sense of belonging. This, in turn, helps active older adults maintain balance

and age in place. In times of both personal need and collective social problems,

the Y is here for our community. We believe

everyone deserves help to reach their

potential, and we are here— day in and day

out— providing care, compassion, wellness

and fellowship for all.

If anyone is in the

same spot I was, don't

hesitate. Make the

call - it’s like a new

lease on life.

LEARN, GROW, THRIVE

At the age of two, Kingston displayed signs of behavioral issues. By three, he

was diagnosed with disruptive behavior disorder, requiring specific preschool

care and instruction. When Kingston’s mom, Elizabeth, realized his current

preschool was not meeting his needs, she began searching for a new

environment that would embrace Kingston. As the end of summer drew near,

Elizabeth frantically searched for a new school setting that was safe, calm and

accommodating. When Kingston’s Behavior Specialist suggested the Y, Elizabeth

reached out and was immediately greeted by kind staff ready to help.

“As I picked him up on his very first day, he was outside and a very sweaty mess

from playing - but I knew he was happy. I knew this was going to be a place

where he can run, play, learn, and be happy. Since joining the daycare program

at the YMCA, Kingston no longer needs the behavioral help. He has also

maintained a spot on the VIP student list at his school, and has gained some

amazing manners that makes me want to be a better person. I can't say enough

about how the YMCA has changed our lives for the better. I know my son is in a

safe , caring, and active environment. I am so appreciative for Kristen and the

staff that make this daycare

program such a success.”

Since joining the

daycare program at the

YMCA, Kingston no

longer needs the

behavioral help.

In May of 2017, Desa’ree was ready for a change: “I was 354 pounds, lost,

confused and determined to lose weight.” Starting off in the Y’s fitness center,

Desar’ee found equipment suited to her needs and accommodative to her bad

back. As she began to feel more comfortable with fitness, she joined aerobic

classes and settled into a schedule of visiting the Y five days a week, sometimes

for five hours at a time. The Y staff embraced her goals, providing support and

encouragement, “Now, the Y feels like my second home.” One year later,

Desa’ree has lost 189 pounds, no longer pre-diabetic or suffering from high

blood pressure. “If you’re looking for a place like home to come swim, workout

and be, the Y is for you and your entire family.”

Thanks to the Y’s financial assistance program, Desa’ree is able to proactively

address her health while feeling supported in her goals. The Y is here to help

neighbors along their journeys, with accommodative programs, group fitness

programs, and most important, with Y

staff who truly care.

If you’re looking for a

place like home to

come swim, workout

and be, the Y is for you

and your entire family.
