Once verified, they will receive a complimentary membership for themselves and their family that will be valid through Nov. 30.
“We know this shutdown is creating real stress for families across the Miami Valley, especially for those connected to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and other federal agencies. We want the Y to be a place of relief, routine, and belonging — a place where people can take care of themselves and feel supported," Dale Brunner, President & CEO of the YMCA of Greater Dayton, said.
The offer is only valid at YMCA of Greater Dayton branches and the Springfield YMCA.
