What are you doing daily that can change the world?

In light of the recent power outage, our YMCA stepped up to help those in need. In addition to members, we have proudly provided over 450 individuals from Burke County and surrounding areas with warm showers, a safe space to charge their devices, and complimentary bottled water. We also provided a space for hurricane relief supplies to be dropped off and transported to the Foothills Higher Education Center to be dispersed to those in the community that need it the most.

Our Burke County YMCA Childcare team partnered with Burke County United Way to provide free emergency childcare to employees of UNC Health Blue Ridge and Burke County Government while schools are closed. This service aims to support our community's frontline heroes during this difficult period.

From enduring power outages and water shortages to facing the loss of homes and
loved ones, these experiences have highlighted the incredible strength and resilience of our community. We are proud to be part of Burke County and remain committed to supporting one another through the journey of recovery and rebuilding. Together, we will emerge even stronger.
