Community Outreach 2008
Real People. Real Impact.
Every day the Siskey Family YMCA’s Community Outreach programs improve lives by lending a helping hand to individuals and families in need. The Siskey Family YMCA is proud of our community partnership with the Johnston YMCA, located in the heart of Charlotte’s ten most fragile neighborhoods. 100% of the funds raised during our year-long community outreach campaign help underwrite the cost of these programs and services to those who could not otherwise afford them.
