The Buckeye Valley Family YMCA is more than just a gym or a fitness center. It is a community hub, a place where families come together, and a space where individuals can grow physically, mentally, and emotionally. From its humble beginnings in 1844, the Y has been dedicated to strengthening communities and promoting healthy living. And the Y continues to go above and beyond for its members each and every day.
One of the ways the Y goes the extra mile is through its family programs. In today’s fast-paced world, it can be challenging for families to spend quality time together. However, the Y recognizes the importance of family bonding and offers a variety of fun activities for families to do together. Family nights at the Y are full of laughter, games, and memories. Not only do these programs bring families closer, but they also instill core values and promote a healthy lifestyle.
We understand that every family has its unique set of financial challenges. At the Y, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to be a part of our community, regardless of their financial situation. Through our Annual Giving Campaign, we provide membership assistance to those in need, so they can benefit from our facilities and programs. We are proud to say that the Y welcomes all, and no one is turned away based on their inability to afford established fees.
The Y also recognizes the importance of nutrition and strives to provide for the basic needs of children through our Y Healthy Kids Network Backpack Program. This program offers carriers of nutritious and easy-to-prepare food to students in Licking and Muskingum counties who may not have access to enough food on weekends. By providing these meals, the Y helps to promote healthier lifestyles and support the academic success of children in our communities.
In this digital age, staying connected and informed has become easier than ever. The Y has taken advantage of technology and developed a free mobile app to help members stay up to date and connected. The app provides information on facility updates, events, and programs, making it easier for members to manage their time and schedule activities at the Y.
At Buckeye Valley Family YMCA, we believe in going the extra mile for our members. We are more than just a fitness center; we are a place where families can come together, individuals can grow, and communities can thrive. Whether it’s through our family programs, financial assistance, nutrition programs, or our mobile app, the Y is dedicated to improving the lives of those we serve. Come join us and experience the Y for yourself – where we go above and beyond to make a difference in the lives of our members and our communities.
