The Waynesboro YMCA recognizes the unprecedented danger with COVID-19 and is launching an online effort to support the area’s most vulnerable residents, including low-income families, seniors and veterans.
Because of coronavirus, the Y has shifted their programs and focus, so the Y can continue to do what it does best: stand as a partner and a leader in community action and support.
“Just because the Y has closed its doors temporarily doesn’t mean we aren’t serving the needs of our community,” said Jeff Fife, executive director of the Waynesboro Family YMCA. “In this time of crisis and need, the Y and our staff are focused on partnering with other agencies, schools and our local government to work directly with and leverage resources to assist those that need it the most.”
The Waynesboro Y has launched an online auction and donate feature to support their work before, during and after COVID-19.
The Y has also set up a text-messaging service to request help or to offer to volunteer during the coronavirus pandemic.
If you need help during the COVID-19 crisis, you may text “NEEDHELP” to 855-444-YMCA.
If you wish to volunteer, you may text “VOLUNTEER” to the same number.
The Y has partnered with Mathers Construction Team, Charlie Obaugh Auto Group, Blue Ridge Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Parrott Orthodontics, The Green Leaf Grill, Best Western Plus Waynesboro and other generous partners listed on our website for this outreach.
