Bless it Forward

Our YMCA supports our community through our annual Bless it Forward Holiday Donation Drive.  Our mission is that everyone is able to wake up Christmas morning with food to eat and gifts to unwrap together.  This program is open to all individuals and families in the surrounding Cumberland County area who are experiencing financial or personal hardship.
