2018 WAS A YEAR OF GREAT GROWTH AT THE GREATER VALLEY YMCA
The Y is So Much More than a place to workout and go swimming. We are a nonprofit
organization meeting key community needs and providing essential resources for all. With all
Ys in the Lehigh Valley operating under the Greater Valley YMCA structure, we have been able
to address more social issues, provide more financial assistance, collaborate with more
nonprofits and become more financially stable.
This year, the Y stepped out of our facilities and stepped up in our communities, leveraging
our resources to address key social needs. We opened five summer feeding sites where
children who may otherwise go hungry could receive nutritious meals and snacks. We launched
the Allentown Warming Station, supporting homeless neighbors in a dignified, warm
atmosphere, keeping them out of the cold and connecting them to additional resources. We
hope you will read on to learn more about all of the ways your Y served the community
throughout 2018.
Additional savings from our merged structure continue to benefit the Y’s growth. Throughout
2018, we invested more than $600,000 in our facilities. We also received more than
$150,000 in new investment dollars, allowing us to accomplish even more projects. At the Y,
we are committed to innovating our services, scaling our abilities and growing our financial
strength in order to improve our programming and community spaces.
And yet with all of these accomplishments, we recognize our greatest success is in providing
young children with quality, educational childcare while their parents work; offering physical
activity and companionship to active older adults; surrounding the cancer survivor or diabetes
patient with resources while on their journey to health; or teaching teens healthy habits
through mentorship after school. Day in and day out, the Y is here providing all of these
opportunities and more to thousands of Valley neighbors. In each of these moments, we know
the Y is successfully meeting our mission.
Every step of the way, the Y has been blessed by the support of dedicated Board Members,
staff, volunteers and partners connected by our mission. We know the Y’s continued
metamorphosis is only made possible thanks to your support. Thank you for your ongoing
championship of the Y, and we look forward to all of the emerging ways our Y can help our
community accomplish So Much More.
In Service,
SO MUCH MORE...

MEETING COMMUNITY NEEDS COLD NIGHTS, WARM HEARTS
Warming Station
In its first season, the Greater Valley YMCA, Allentown Branch’s
Warming Station offered the homeless population a safe place to
sleep, a warm shower and a sense of community to our neighbors
in need. Our neighbors filled the Warming Station to capacity many
nights throughout the season. The Y’s Warming Station opened
November 1, 2018 and ended April 30, 2019, focusing on serving
as a community safe haven during the cold months.
In November, the Warming Station provided 900 beds*, serving a
high of 49 guests on November 20th, consisting of 32 men and
17 women. In December, the Warming Station served a high of 54
guests, and filled a total of 1,358 beds within the month.
The Warming Station continued to provide warm beds through
April 2019 and will do so again starting in November 2019.
2,258 Beds filled at the
Warming Station from Nov to Dec 2018
3,710 Free Meals served through the 2018 Summer Feeding
NOURISHING THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN
Y Summer Food Program
One in six children in the U.S. don’t know where their next meal
is coming from.
The summer is a particularly vulnerable time for kids who rely on
free or reduced-price meals during the school year. At the Y, we
know that children who receive daily nutrition are set up to
succeed. That’s why we’re helping kids reach their full potential by
providing free access to healthy snacks and meals when school’s
out for summer. In 2018, five Open Summer Feeding Sites served
3,710 meals.
Twelve Open Sites will operate in 2019 to nourish even more
children in need.
To put Christian principles into practice through programs
that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. OUR
MISSION
* The term “filled beds” reflects the number of beds occupied each evening, and does include duplicate counts of unique individuals.

A NEW LEASE ON LIFE
For the first two years after her husband’s passing, Joan describes her life as
“in a rut.” Without a new routine or social network, and given a few joint
replacements, Joan found herself staying at home, inactive and “hiding away.”
When her physical therapist suggested joining the Y, Joan was unsure. But after
working up the courage Joan called the Y and scheduled an orientation. Thanks
to friendly staff, the assistance of her health insurance company and the Y, Joan
was enrolled in SilverSneakers classes the next week. In these classes she made
friends, became more active and built a new routine. Today Joan is a fierce
advocate of joining the Y family, stating, “If anyone is in the same spot I was,
don't hesitate. Make the call— it’s like a new lease on life.”
At the Y, Joan was able to find a new community of support. Each year the Y
supports thousands of active older adults seeking fitness, social connection and
a sense of belonging. This, in turn, helps active older adults maintain balance
and age in place. In times of both personal need and collective social problems,
the Y is here for our community. We believe
everyone deserves help to reach their
potential, and we are here— day in and day
out— providing care, compassion, wellness
and fellowship for all.
If anyone is in the
same spot I was, don't
hesitate. Make the
call - it’s like a new
lease on life.

LEARN, GROW, THRIVE
At the age of two, Kingston displayed signs of behavioral issues. By three, he
was diagnosed with disruptive behavior disorder, requiring specific preschool
care and instruction. When Kingston’s mom, Elizabeth, realized his current
preschool was not meeting his needs, she began searching for a new
environment that would embrace Kingston. As the end of summer drew near,
Elizabeth frantically searched for a new school setting that was safe, calm and
accommodating. When Kingston’s Behavior Specialist suggested the Y, Elizabeth
reached out and was immediately greeted by kind staff ready to help.
“As I picked him up on his very first day, he was outside and a very sweaty mess
from playing - but I knew he was happy. I knew this was going to be a place
where he can run, play, learn, and be happy. Since joining the daycare program
at the YMCA, Kingston no longer needs the behavioral help. He has also
maintained a spot on the VIP student list at his school, and has gained some
amazing manners that makes me want to be a better person. I can't say enough
about how the YMCA has changed our lives for the better. I know my son is in a
safe , caring, and active environment. I am so appreciative for Kristen and the
staff that make this daycare
program such a success.”
Since joining the
daycare program at the
YMCA, Kingston no
longer needs the
behavioral help.

In May of 2017, Desa’ree was ready for a change: “I was 354 pounds, lost,
confused and determined to lose weight.” Starting off in the Y’s fitness center,
Desar’ee found equipment suited to her needs and accommodative to her bad
back. As she began to feel more comfortable with fitness, she joined aerobic
classes and settled into a schedule of visiting the Y five days a week, sometimes
for five hours at a time. The Y staff embraced her goals, providing support and
encouragement, “Now, the Y feels like my second home.” One year later,
Desa’ree has lost 189 pounds, no longer pre-diabetic or suffering from high
blood pressure. “If you’re looking for a place like home to come swim, workout
and be, the Y is for you and your entire family.”
Thanks to the Y’s financial assistance program, Desa’ree is able to proactively
address her health while feeling supported in her goals. The Y is here to help
neighbors along their journeys, with accommodative programs, group fitness
programs, and most important, with Y
staff who truly care.
If you’re looking for a
place like home to
come swim, workout
and be, the Y is for you
and your entire family.
