Even amidst this statewide shelter-in-place, many YMCAs across California are proud to serve their communities with exemplary programs: offering meals for students and childcare for essential workers.
YMCAs in California are established providers of childcare for children from infancy through school age. As we respond to the spread of COVID-19 in our communities, many YMCAs are making emergency childcare available for people working in essential operations. We recognize the critical role of healthcare personnel, first responders, law enforcement officers, grocery workers, and many others during this difficult time, and we want you to be aware of the child care services available through YMCAs. 
We invite you to contact the CEOs of our local YMCAs directly using the contact information below to discuss access to childcare. You can also visit ymcasofca.org/locations/ to get a general view of where YMCA associations are located throughout the state. You may also contact me directly at 916-730-0271 or kris@ymcasofca.org and I will assist you in any way I can.
The YMCAs of California thank you and your employees for your service during this challenging time.
Kris Lev-Twombly
President & CEO, California State Alliance of YMCAs
