Organization: YMCA OF HASTINGS NEBR
Mission: THE PROMOTION OF PROGRAMS THAT BUILD HEALTHY SPIRITS, MINDS, AND BODIES FOR ALL.
Activities: HEALTH AND WELL BEING FOR ALL. AT A TIME WHEN 17% OF ALL CHILDREN AND 35% OF ADULTS ARE CLASSIFIED AS OBESE, AN ORGANIZATION LIKE THE HASTINGS YMCA, WHICH REACHED 1/3 OF OUR POPULATION DIRECTLY AND MANY MORE INDIRECTLY, IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR THE COMMUNITY. IN AN AREA OF THE STATE THAT BOASTS THE HIGHEST RATE OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY, TRANSFORMING A CULTURE OF WELL BEING THAT FOCUSES ON THE HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT OF SPIRIT, BODY, AND MIND IS BENEFICIAL FOR THE COMMUNITY. MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN OF ALL AGES, FAITHS, BACKGROUNDS, ABILITIES, AND INCOME LEVELS IMPROVE HEALTH AND WELL BEING AT THE HASTINGS YMCA. WE PROVIDE SUBSIDIZED ACCESS TO LOW INCOME CHILDREN AND FAMILIES TO OVERCOME ECONOMIC BARRIERS FOR PARTICIPATIONS. THE HASTINGS YMCA IS THE COMMUNITY CENTER THAT WELCOMES EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
