DOYLESTOWN - Through December 20, 2023, YMCA of Bucks County and Hunterdon Counties is opening their doors and inviting the community to use the Y for free. With branches in Doylestown, Fairless Hills, Newtown, Quakertown and Warminster in Pennsylvania, as well as Flemington in New Jersey, the YMCA is in a unique position to impact community health and wellness.

In 2021 and 2022, the YMCA committed resources to help the community get back to life and improve health and well-being following the challenges of the pandemic. Once again, during the months of November and December, the Y is providing free opportunities for everyone in the community to connect and engage with others to meet social, physical and mental well-being needs.

Additionally, the YMCA is providing free virtual wellness for the entire community through December 20. Y Wellness 24/7 is a virtual platform that provides thousands of weekly live and on-demand health and wellness programs for all abilities and interests.

“This time of year since 2021, we have opened our doors to the community, and found it to have a very positive impact,” said Zane Moore, president/CEO of YMCA of Bucks and Hunterdon Counties. “We know that for many people, the holiday season can bring about additional stress, anxiety, and even loneliness. We invite our communities to prioritize their health and well-being and utilize our Y, both in-person and online. Our caring, knowledgeable staff will meet you where you are and help and support you along the way.”
