YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region

We are honored to partner with Colorado Community Health Alliance (CCHA) and Comfort Cases, Inc. as we helped pack 250 Comfort Cases for youth in foster care! Comfort Cases has distributed more than 200,000 backpacks filled with essentials to children across the United States and beyond. We were so proud to have this event at the Southeast Armed Services YMCA today! Thank you so much to all of our volunteers who helped give back and pack Comfort Cases. #ccha #comfortcases #nomoretrashbags #ppymca
