As we enter Military Family Month this November, the YMCA of Greater Toledo is proud to celebrate the bravery, dedication, and sacrifice of our active duty military, veterans, first responders, and their families. With a range of programs and memberships, we’re here to support the health, wellness, and overall well-being of these heroes in our community, offering specialized memberships, discounted rates, and partnerships tailored to their unique needs.
Task Force 20 Membership: Supporting Veterans with PTSD
In partnership with Task Force 20, a local non-profit, the YMCA offers veterans struggling with PTSD a way to improve their mental health through fitness and wellness programs. Task Force 20’s mission is to connect veterans to supportive activities that help reduce the rate of veteran suicide. Veterans interested in joining the YMCA under the Task Force 20 Membership can reach out to Task Force 20 directly to start this journey.
Hero Discount Membership: Giving Back to Those Who Give So Much
For active duty military, veterans, and first responders, we offer a 15% discount on memberships. This discount is our way of honoring the service and dedication of these individuals. Signing up is simple: visit any of our 10 YMCA locations, let our membership team know you’re applying for the Hero Discount Membership, and provide the required documentation within seven days.
Department of Armed Forces Membership through YMCA Military Outreach
The YMCA of Greater Toledo also participates in the Department of Defense’s Armed Forces Military Outreach Programs. Through this initiative, we offer memberships for military families. Members interested in enrolling should contact their Commanding Officer for further details.
25 Years of Supporting Military Families
For over 25 years, YMCAs across the country have celebrated Military Family Month in November, providing an opportunity for Americans to recognize the sacrifices of military personnel and their families. Throughout the year, YMCA’s programs and initiatives offer spaces for families to connect, kids to build friendships, and adults to achieve their health and wellness goals.
The YMCA’s Military Outreach Initiative has provided over 87,000 Y memberships to military members and families nationwide, and over 164,000 children have benefited from childcare support. The Armed Services YMCA (ASYMCA), in partnership with the U.S. government, continues to support these families through programs like the Respite Child Care program.
