Meriden YMCA

Through the generosity of our donors and members, we have helped our community with scholarships and financial assistance to: help our hard working families send their children to safe nurturing child care programs; provide scholarships to over 30 percent of our campers at Mountain Mist Day Camp so these children could have fun, realize who they are and what they can achieve, and make friends; offer financial assistance to members like Teri Randall, a single mom of two daughters who turned her health around by losing over 90 pounds, reducing her blood pressure, teaching her children to live a healthier life, and inspiring others to do the same; launch a new program to fight childhood obesity and built a Exergame Fitness Arcade to get kids involved with "kid powered" interactive games to get them moving and on the path to a healthier life; provide holiday meals to our local families at our Thanksgiving and Christmas Community dinners as well as deliver to those who are home bound.
