TIS’ THE SEASON FOR GIVING
and we need your help to Pay It Forward!
PAY IT FORWARD PROGRAM
During the holidays families and individuals experience increased financial, mental, and physical strain. Our Pay It Forward Program aims to help ease some of those strains by providing a safe and secure space where they can come and be a part of a supportive, encouraging community to work on their own physical and mental health without having to worry about paying for a membership.
This holiday season, The Fort Madison Family YMCA is awarding three full year memberships to families and individuals who are nominated by fellow community members, family, and friends. If you know someone, or a family, who may be experiencing financial struggles, medical issues, or simply need a safe place to be; we encourage you to nominate them.
