Deployment can be a stressful and uncertain time for our nation’s servicemen, women, veterans, and their families. In partnership with the Armed Services YMCA and the Department of Defense, the Y is proud to offer memberships and respite child care services to eligible military families and personnel to give them extra support during this difficult period. It’s our way of giving back to those who dedicate themselves to serving our country.
We understand that military families are under enormous strain. As a member of the Y, you and your family can spend quality time together, participate in wellness programming to stay healthy, and enjoy fun activities in a warm, supportive environment. It’s also a place to meet other military families who can relate to your unique situation – learn more about YMCA membership benefits here.
