Greater Susquehanna Valley YMCA Supports Mifflinburg Families This Summer
Mifflinburg, PA — The Greater Susquehanna Valley YMCA stepped in this summer to help meet vital community needs in Mifflinburg, ensuring local children had access to healthy meals and safe recreation opportunities.
Each week throughout the summer, more than 143 children received nutritious food for breakfast and lunch—seven days a week— through the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) operated by the Milton YMCA. This program helps fill the gap for families during the months when school meals are unavailable, ensuring that children remain nourished and ready to thrive.
In addition to food security, the YMCA partnered with the Mifflinburg Borough to help operate the Mifflinburg Pool, providing children and families with a safe and welcoming place to enjoy the summer. The Mifflinburg Kiwanis Club provided free swimming lessons to children in the beginner’s level. Thanks to their generous support, the YMCA was able to offer 107 swim lessons to 88 local children, giving them life-saving water safety skills and building their confidence in and around the water.
“Feeding kids and teaching them how to be safe in the water are two of the most important ways we can serve our community,” said Angela Haines, GSV YMCA Director of Operations. “We’re grateful for the partnerships and generosity that made this possible in Mifflinburg.”
By working together, the Greater Susquehanna Valley YMCA, Mifflinburg Borough, Milton YMCA, and Mifflinburg Kiwanis Club helped strengthen the community, making sure every child had the opportunity for a healthier, safer summer.
