The mission of the YMCA is to apply Christian principles concerning care for your body or physical self so as to enhance your spiritual life. The other part of that mission is to aid members of your community. In that regard Bell Family YMCA offers scholarships to individuals or families who need assistance to pay the membership fees.

There is no day like today to improve your health and fitness. Bell Family YMCA is looking forward to help you do just that.
