Rocky Mount, Va. (December 7, 2022) – The Franklin County Family YMCA organized a campaign called Keeping the County Warm that included a coat drive the month of November to help county residents this winter season.


The Y’s generous members were able to provide 39 children’s coats, 26 adult coats, 6 shoes, 6 scarves, 8 hats, 7 pairs of gloves that were donated to Stepping Stone Mission and Trinity Mission Health and Rehab of Rocky Mount.


“Strengthening the community through programs like this stays true to the ultimate mission of the YMCA – making sure our neighbors are supported,” says Kevin McAlexander, CEO of the Franklin County YMCA, “We’re thrilled to once again partner with local organizations to meet the needs of community members.”

The Y, in addition to its mission work in swim, youth development, childcare and senior programs, also hosts food drives, blood drives and much more. To learn more about this and other available programs visit www.franklincountyymca.org or call (540)489-9622.
