Zane Moore calls it “the boldest move we ever made,” and the Bucks County YMCA under his direction is not short of bold moves. The latest is the “Here for Our Community Initiative.”
Through Dec. 31, YMCA of Bucks County and Hunterdon County YMCA are opening their doors and inviting the community to try the Y for free. With branches in Doylestown, Newtown, Quakertown and Warminster in Pennsylvania and Flemington and Annandale in New Jersey, these Ys are able to impact community health and wellness.
That’s right – New Jersey is in on the offer.
Hunterdon County YMCA and YMCA of Bucks County have entered into a management agreement for the Bucks YMCA to provide executive leadership to Hunterdon County’s Y. Under the agreement, Moore, president and CEO of YMCA of Bucks County also leads the Hunterdon County YMCA.
Safety measures are in place, Moore said. “We’ve spread out equipment, improved the filtration system and enhanced cleaning,” Moore said this week. “We want people to come in and see what we have and see others here.” And there’s Child Watch, a free service to parents who take advantage of programs.
In addition, the two YMCAs are providing free virtual wellness for the entire community through Jan. 31, the height of winter weather. Everyone in the community is invited to create a free account to access Y Wellness 24/7 from their home, office or anywhere, anytime. Y Wellness 24/7 is a virtual platform that provides live and on-demand health and wellness programs.
