Social Responsibility
The YMCA believes our communities are strongest when everyone is included and has the opportunity to reach their full potential. We welcome and connect people of all generations, backgrounds and perspectives, and we’re committed to addressing issues that people face to create positive change. We work to provide kids, families and communities with the resources and opportunities they need to learn, grow and thrive. That’s why we offer a range of programs and services to meet the unique needs of our community.
community resource hub
The Bloomsburg Area YMCA Community Resource Hub opened on April 22, 2024, and began serving the community on June 3, 2024. As a proud extension of the Bloomsburg Area YMCA, the Hub was created to be a welcoming, inclusive space dedicated to connecting individuals and families with critical resources that support overall health, stability, and quality of life.
Our mission is to meet people where they are, offering compassionate, personalized assistance across a wide range of needs, including food access, clothing, transportation, and housing resources. Through partnerships with local organizations and service providers, we offer streamlined referrals and on-site support to help remove barriers and build stronger, healthier communities.
Serving residents across Columbia and Montour Counties, the Community Resource Hub is a trusted connection point for those navigating difficult circumstances. We believe in dignity, respect, and empowerment for all, and we remain committed to ensuring that no one is left behind when it comes to vital support.
