Swimming to Success

2nd Grade Swim Initiative


We are excited to announce the launch of our 2nd Grade Swim Pilot Program at the Sampson County YMCA. The Y is dedicated to making swim lessons accessible to our community, and our partnership with Sampson County Schools is one way we are making that happen. In May, we hosted our first round of 2nd graders from Hargrove Elementary School for a week of swim and water safety lessons. By the end of the week, students had a newfound confidence, ready to go have fun around water! We are looking forward to serving many more students and making our community safer.

Free Summer Meals for Kids & Teens

June 11 - August 6


This summer, we are offering free meals for kids and teens 18 and under! Thanks to our partnership with the USDA and the state of North Carolina, we can provide grab-n-go meals for children in our community as well as on-site meals for children enrolled in summer camp. Each Tuesday from 3:30 to 5:00pm, you can stop by our meal site (look for the tent) in the Sampson County YMCA parking lot and receive a 7-day supply of breakfasts and lunches for each child in your family not already enrolled in summer camp. You don't have to be a Y member to be eligible, so spread the word to your friends and neighbors!
