Healthy Living

YMCA of the Suncoast members it's time for you to share what brings our community together and makes it stronger- a membership to the Y!

Bring your friends as many times as you like between September 11-October 2 and you can build a better you and a better us!

At the Y, we are about youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Meals are a fun way to experience other cultures while connecting with people. In this month's member news, we have some tips for eating healthy while exploring global flavors.

At the Y, we are about youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Not all food is created equal. The type of food we consume impacts our mood, cognitive skills, and physical health. Eating whole foods helps children and adults to thrive! The Y is working to ensure all youth have access to whole food options.

The YMCA of the Suncoast is excited about the new partnerships they have built with organizations that enhance the well-being of children and families in need of a second chance. To celebrate the Greater Ridgecrest YMCA in Largo will host a FREE Field Day with games, swimming and so much more on Saturday, October 7, 10 a.m to 2:30 p.m.

The Freedom Run and Run to Remember events on Saturday, September 9, and Monday, September 11 have been cancelled.

While Hernando County may not begin to feel the effects of Hurricane Irma until Sunday, based on the current projected track, we need to be supportive of the County's Sheriff's Office and Fire Departments for prepping our community and being on call should any emergencies happen or the weather move in a different track warranting the use of our local shelters. 

At the Y, we are about youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.  In our increasingly connected world, it's important for kids and adults to broaden their horizons and appreciate other people, places and cultures.
