At our recent Club meeting, Allison Bardon and Kaitlin Casey of the Madison YMCA, discussed the changing demographics of Madison and our neighboring communities and the rising needs that are emerging (particularly with childcare scholarships). Because of the gap between many governmental support programs and the resource level needed to sustain a family in northern New Jersey, the YMCA has needed to substantially increase its scholarship support over the past few years. Along with other nonprofits, the YMCA continues to support the physical, financial and mental health needs of local families. For more on the Y and its programs, visit www.madisonareaymca.org
