National Family Week
National Family Week is an annual celebration observed during the week of Thanksgiving. The Alliance for Children and Families and its member organizations have annually promoted National Family Week for more than 40 years.
Our Y is proud to help area families connect to the opportunities, networks, support, and services that enable them to succeed. We encourage you to join our celebration of National Family Week, November 21-27, 2016.
On Thanksgiving Day, our branches will be open 7-11am with child watch open 8-11am. We wish you a happy Thanksgiving! Be sure to look for recipes for using your leftovers when you visit the Y and feel free to bring a friend on Thanksgiving Day free of charge. Donations to our local food pantries are encouraged throughout the week.
