The Washington County Family YMCA is thrilled to announce a generous $10,000 donation from the Salem Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 6636 to the Beth Armstrong Y-For All Capital Campaign. This significant contribution supports the YMCA’s mission to create a childcare and family recreation center, a facility that will transform opportunities for youth and families in Washington County.
The donation was presented during a meeting on January 13 at the Salem VFW Post 6636, with representatives from both the YMCA and the VFW in attendance. This heartfelt act of giving underscores the VFW’s commitment to strengthening the community and supporting initiatives that create lasting impact. “We are incredibly grateful for the support of the Salem VFW Post 6636,” said Kristy Purlee, CEO of the Washington County Family YMCA. “Their investment in our capital campaign demonstrates a shared belief in the importance of providing families and children with resources and opportunities that foster growth, learning, and connection.”
The Beth Armstrong Y-For All Capital Campaign aims to address critical community needs by constructing a state-of-the-art childcare and family recreation center. This facility will enhance access to early learning, substance abuse prevention programs, chronic disease prevention services, and spaces that promote healthy living and family engagement.
Commander Dario Lee of Salem VFW Post 6636 shared, “The YMCA’s vision for this new center aligns perfectly with our mission of supporting families and improving the lives of those in our community. We are proud to contribute to a project that will benefit generations to come.”
The YMCA Capital Campaign continues to seek support from community members, businesses, and organizations to achieve its fundraising goals. Every donation, large or small, helps bring the vision of the childcare and family recreation center closer to reality.
