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.

Snow Removal Reminders Residents are reminded to remove all vehicles from public streets in instances when snowstorms are imminent. Please avoid parking in dead ends and cul-de-sacs during snow removal efforts.  This will greatly help Borough employees in their plowing efforts.  If you have available space on your property for off-street parking, please use it when it snows. We are also offering another reminder to mark the edge of your lawns with brightly colored stakes or flags to aid in locating where the edge of the pavement ends during snow plowing. Please remove all ornamental decorations, basketball structures, etc. that may end up in the path of the snow plows.  These simple yet conscientious efforts will greatly assist the Borough crew in clearing the snow and minimizing personal property damage. Last, but not least in the way of cold weather and snow reminders, please keep your sidewalks clear. The Borough has ordinances which require that property owners clear their sidewalks of snow within 24 hours of a snowfall event.  This ordinance is intended as a Public Safety measure.  Getting the snow or slush off of your sidewalks as quickly as possible helps prevent the buildup of ice and snow from becoming a hazard to pedestrians and a liability to you. Thank you for your cooperation!
