Throughout the remaining weeks of December, the YMCA of the Chesapeake will collect bottled water at all 11 of its locations across the Eastern Shore to support those affected by the devastating and deadly tornadoes in Kentucky. The YMCA is partnering with 50K Souls, a network of Churches/Organizations committed to bringing deliverance, restoration, inspiration, victory and encouragement to communities locally, nationally and globally.
“This partnership with 50K Souls is one of many ways our mission work continues throughout the year,” said Robbie Gill, YMCA of the Chesapeake CEO. “We’re working directly with YMCAs across Kentucky to ensure water is distributed to communities impacted by the storms. I hope our friends and neighbors will consider purchasing cases of water and dropping them off at Y locations across the Eastern Shore between December 17th – 31st.”

About the YMCA of the Chesapeake
The Y is one of the nation’s leading nonprofits and the largest Human Service organization on the Eastern Shore; strengthening communities through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Across the Shore, Ys engage 40,000 members and their families, regardless of age, income or background, to nurture the potential of children and teens, improve the Shore’s health and wellbeing, and provide opportunities to give back and support neighbors. The YMCA of the Chesapeake operates facilities in Caroline, Cecil, Dorchester, Kent, Talbot, Queen Anne’s and Wicomico Counties in Maryland and on Chincoteague Island in Virginia. Last year, the YMCA of the Chesapeake provided over $1,750,000 in assistance to over 16,000 community members, turning no one away due to inability to pay. Additionally, the Y spent $200,000 on outreach efforts and programming in the communities it serves.
