IT FEELS GOOD TO DO GOOD
“Just when it seemed like I’d lost everyone, the Y became my family.”
Last year a friend called asking us to help an 18-year-old who lives in Plum Borough. The young man’s father had just died of cancer and his mother had passed away 3 years earlier. He had recently graduated from high school and his nearest relative was his 26-year-old brother who lives in Philadelphia. In the blink of an eye, this young man was alone in our community and needed the Y. We reached out to him and his brother to see how the Y could help. He had a home but no income. Through the Building Bridges program, we provided him with a Y membership and volunteer opportunities which may lead to part time work. More importantly, we gave him a place where he feels like part of a family. He comes to the Y almost every day and is very appreciative.
We helped. We cared. We made a difference in a young man’s life.

Sampson Family Y – Expansion Project
A Message from Kristy Sampson Rodriguez
In the early 1970’s a local builder donated a piece of land off of Route 286 to the YMCA. He knew that his local community needed a space where families and individuals could come together. In 1975, the YMCA was built and continues to over a thousand families every year. That builder was my grandfather, Orin Sampson and after 35 years, our family still sees the tremendous benefit the Y provides to the community. In 1995, the YMCA underwent a renovation and my father, Myles Sampson, supported the efforts because he saw the benefits the Y had for the community and for business. Today, three years after my dad lost his battle with cancer; our family has decided to continue supporting the YMCA. Knowing my dad, he would not have wanted his name on a building, but for us, it is a way to honor him and his legacy of giving back to the community he lived in. We are so excited about the possibilities this expansion holds for it’s current member and for future generations of members to come. Please help us in honoring my dad, and in helping us to create a healthier happier community.
Be a part of strengthening our community.

Parent-Child Programs
Parent-Child Programs
These timeless programs assist the parent and school age child on a journey of discovery. While activities with the whole family are important, there is tremendous value in supporting and strengthening the ability of a parent and their child to communicate at an early age. Y Guides and Princesses can be for one parent and child or grandparent and child. Typical activities include games, crafts, songs, stories, skits, camping, hiking and swimming.
