The decision was made in order to protect the community in accordance with guidelines from state and local gov- ernment, public health au- thorities and regional school closings. As a charitable organi- zation dedicated to open- ing doors and bringing people together to serve and strengthen communities, the decision to close a door is especially difficult for the Y. While closing its facilities was the correct move for the safety and protection of all, it meant the possibility that some local residents may not have access to the criti- cal programs and services they depend on from the Y. Therefore, the YMCA will continue its Germantown Neighborhood Center Food Pantry services for as long as possible with help from the community.
