WEEKLY COMMUNITY SUPPORT CHALLENGE

During the COVID-19/Coronavirus pandemic crisis, the most vulnerable in our community need the help of the YMCA now more than ever.

Each week, the South Shore Y is raising money to support local restaurants whose businesses are suffering during the COVID-19 crisis  by hiring them to provide hot meals, and a bit of hope and joy to those who rely on our Germantown Neighborhood Center Food Pantry, Emergency Childcare Centers and Quincy YMCA Emergency Homeless Shelter.

Please join in! Your donation will help these programs to support those in need while supporting local businesses. See what we are doing each week below…and step up with us!
