🛒 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED – THURSDAY GROCERY DELIVERY ❤️

Looking for a meaningful way to give back to your community?

The Lunenburg County YMCA is currently looking for a volunteer to help with our No Frills Grocery Delivery Program on Thursdays.

As a volunteer, you'll:
🥕 Shop for groceries using a client's shopping list
🚗 Deliver groceries directly to their home
💙 Provide a friendly face and a meaningful connection for someone who may have difficulty getting to the grocery store.

Most deliveries are within Bridgewater, and each grocery shop and delivery takes approximately 45 minutes.

This small commitment can make a big difference in someone's week.

If you're interested in volunteering or would like to learn more, please visit ymcasouthwestns.ca/yhomedelivery contact our Centre Manager at [email protected], or stop by the Membership Desk to fill out an application form.

Together, we can strengthen our community, one grocery delivery at a time. ❤️

🚨 CLASS CANCELLATION 🚨

Please note that Active for Life with Denise is cancelled today, Monday, August 31 and Wednesday, September 2 at 1:30 PM while Denise is away.

⚾️☀️We had the best season for Girls at Bat yet! I'm so thankful to our awesome coaches who came every week to support the girls in our program. We even played some baseball this year! The girls have developed their skills so much this season. We ended it today with a fun game with their parents, it was a blast!⚾️☀️

See you on the field next year!
