It’s a whole new way to set goals and monitor your progress. Plus, you can access meal planning, a calorie intake tracker and progress journal all through this new online tool.

Food Drive

Last year in November with the help from our members, we donated 800 pounds of food to the Green Cove Springs Food Pantry. Donations will be accepted again this year from March 1 – 17, St. Patrick’s Day. Together, we will give families in our community the support they need. In the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, green food item donations will be counted toward your March Madness Wellness Challenge Points. To learn more or donate to the food drive, stop by Member Services.

Daddy Daughter Dance

We know that dads and their daughters have a relationship unlike any other. That’s why we’re inviting all dads to bring their daughters to the Y on Saturday, March 3 from 7:00-9:00pm for a night to remember. We will provide the food, music and a souvenir photo. Cost is $25 per couple. Visit Member Services to reserve your spot today.

Have your company join us at the Y to join the movement. Our Open House, Saturday, February 25, is estimated to reach out to 200 Y members and community visitors, making it the perfect opportunity for you to showcase your products or services.
