With this current pledge, the Bank’s total giving to the MetroWest YMCA reaches nearly $500,000 over the past 20 years.

For more than a century, the MetroWest YMCA, has responded to community needs in the MetroWest area and made a significant impact throughout Framingham and the surrounding towns. Annually more than 25,000 children, adults and seniors living and working in MetroWest communities are served by the Y.

We take pride that our Y is one of the most diverse front doors in the community, bringing together people of all ages, abilities, backgrounds and ethnicities. The Y is more than a community center, it is the center of community, and this renovation and expansion will help the Y continue to build bridges and serve thousands of local families every year.”
