Get Connected Stay up to date on Y news! ymcaerie.org Follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook My Y is Every Y in PA We want to encourage our members to utilize the Y as often as they can. Sometimes, It s more convenient for members to utilize a Y in a different location when traveling, near a workplace or in another region. Now, YMCA of Greater Erie members have the flexibility to use other Y facilities throughout the state, at no extra charge. Simply present your drivers license at any participating YMCA and enjoy access. Special Events Coffee For A Cause In Erie County, one in five kids live with food insecurity. In order to take meals into neighborhoods, the Y and community partners renovated a 72-passenger bus into a mobile meals site! The Food + Fun bus took to the streets & served 10,000 free meals through the Y s Meals for Kids program in three months! The Y does receive grants to help, but there is typically a $3.00 per meal gap. We are partnering with Premium Coffee Shop to host a coffee bar to help fill the gap! We will have several delicious coffees like: Apple Pecan Crumb Cake, Breakfast with Elvis, Raspberry Almond Shortcake, and Mexican Oaxaca available to enjoy on the spot. And bags of coffee for sale too! Juice boxes will be available for younger members. Can t make the event, but interested in purchasing a bag of delicious coffee to help feed a child?
