The 13 branches of the YMCA of Greater Boston are encouraging the community to get fit and give back this fall by donating five non-perishable food items when they join the Y now through Nov. 18 as a part of Mayor Thomas Menino’s CANshare program.
Individuals and families that donate food items will have the YMCA joiner fee waived ($25 to 50), receive three free sessions of YMCA health and wellness coaching, (valued at $150), and be entered to win a personal training package. Current members who donate will also be entered into a personal training package raffle.
The Y is partnering with the CANshare program to serve as a drop-off location and collection site for non-perishable food to help fight hunger and further the Y’s mission of youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
