UNITED WAY WEDNESDAY FEATURED AGENCY: CHAMPAIGN FAMILY YMCA

Champaign Family YMCA runs a program called Invest in Youth that provides a safe, supportive environment where individuals and families can participate in physical activities, socialize in a positive environment, engage with others in their community, and strengthen family relationships through healthy activities. The goal of Invest in Youth is to insure that everyone in Champaign County is able to participate in YMCA programs, regardless of ability to pay. Individuals and families that can demonstrate a household income below 200% of the poverty level are eligible for membership financial aid, up to a maximum of 65% of the membership cost. Applicants are required to submit proof of household income, either with the previous year’s Form 1040, or with proof of income for 30 days. READ MORE... #UNITEDWAYWEDNESDAY
