🍱 Feeding our community, one box at a time. 📦
🙌 We’re grateful to have team members from Marketing, Stratford Richardson YMCA and the community volunteer at a recent Food Share.
🤝 In partnership with Nourish Up and hosted at our Stratford Richardson YMCA, these community events take place throughout the week at various YMCA centers. Together, we receive large donations of food, package them into individual boxes, and distribute them to families in need.

Fun fact: In 1909, the YMCA in Detroit launched a groundbreaking initiative to teach every man and boy in North America to swim. Under George Corsan’s innovative methods and group lessons he taught 800 boys in Newark in just four weeks!
Here’s to 150 years of community, empowerment, and making waves! 💙🏊♂️

🇲🇽 Originally from Mexico City, Claudia proudly shares her Mexican culture and traditions with her students through games and songs.
Claudia celebrates her heritage by celebrating traditions like Día de Muertos, Independence Day, and Christmas with her family and friends. She enjoys preparing traditional Mexican food, dressing in regional attire, and creating altars for Día de Muertos to honor her loved ones.
Moving to Charlotte 12 years ago without knowing anyone was challenging, but the YMCA became a family for Claudia and her children. She’s proud to help other Hispanic staff and members through translation and to be a part of such a welcoming community.
Thank you, Claudia, for sharing your culture and passion with the Y family!
