FULTON – G&C Food Distributors, a stalwart supporter of the Fulton Family YMCA, has increased its investment in the programs and services offered by the YMCA.
G&C’s $35,000 contribution is the largest provided by any area business to the YMCA and will be used to support the expanding roster of services the Y offers to the Fulton-area community.
“The last two years have been very difficult for our community. In that time, we’ve added services such as daycare to help get people back on their feet. G&C’s generous donation will help us keep those services intact. We are grateful for G&C’s support and their recognition of the valuable work we do in our community,” said Amy Leotta, Fulton Family YMCA executive director.
Despite the economic damage that the ongoing pandemic did to many organizations, including the Fulton Family YMCA, the Y added programs and services to meet new and urgent needs. The Y provided daycare for essential workers in the early phases of the shutdown and staff members assisted with food distributions.
Since then, the Y has launched a full daycare program to complement its preschool, afterschool and summer camp programs and has made the Y’s extensive exercise room available 24 hours a day.
“The services and programs that the Fulton Family YMCA provides to our community are near and dear to G&C Foods and our employees. As an employer, it becomes an extension of support to our employees. We continue to support them because our employees speak volumes about the impact that it has on their lives,” said Sara Johnson, director of organizational development.
Those new offerings join a large roster of programs, from yoga classes to music lessons to a popular empowerment program for teen girls.
