For more than 25 years, YMCAs have celebrated Military Family Month in November, providing Americans the opportunity to recognize the dedication, sacrifice and service of military personnel and their families. Throughout the year, the YMCA of Greater Nashua supports military families with programs and initiatives that improve their well-being and provide opportunities to connect with other families in similar situations.

“We know our military families need support while their loved ones are serving,” said Mike LaChance, CEO of the YMCA of Greater Nashua. “The Y is here to support those families, whether it’s providing a place where kids can be safe, making friends while finding a sense of belonging or providing a place for adults to meet their health and wellness goals.”

The YMCA of Greater Nashua offers YMCA memberships through the Military Outreach Initiative. Since 2008, the Military Outreach Initiative has provided more than 87,000 Y memberships to military members and their families.

First established by the Armed Services YMCA (ASYMCA) and recognized by the U.S. government ever since, Military Family Month recognizes the dedication and service of military personnel and their families.
