Handsome GuyOUR MISSION

The mission of the Y is "To Put Christian Principles into Practice through Programs that Build a Healthy Spirit, Mind, and Body for All." 

We at the Y do not turn away individuals due to the inability to pay.  Thanks to the generous support of Y Donors we are able to extend financial scholarships to individuals and families who need a little help to participate in Y Membership or Programs. 

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Backpack Program

In an effort to help feed the hungry children in our community, the Y has partnered with local churches to provide backpacks filled with healthy foods to needy children in our schools.  The Y currently provides backpacks for 40 children from Oakboro Elementary each week.  This program is made possible through the Strong Communities Fund and Wal-Mart.

Sunday Lunch Program

In an effort to reach out to the community's need for the service of a warm meal at the Community Table on Sunday afternoon, the Y has partnered with Bank of Stanly and Food Lion to provide the Sunday Lunch Program.  Over 90 meals on average are served to our community's needy and disadvantaged at the Community Table in Albemarle.  Volunteers are greatly appreciated.  Please contact Kelley Bigger at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
