Ongoing Programs
FOOD DELIVERY PROGRAM
In order to help serve the Canton Population, the Y on the Fly Initiative is helping to deliver food to those in need. With the support of our community partners, the YMCA is able to provide boxes of food as a supplement to normal groceries. If you, or someone you know can benefit from this program, please follow the link HERE to fill out the form.
AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Y on the Fly is currently working with Canton City and Alliance Schools to bring enrichment opportunities to their after school programs. Our curriculum helps to teach the importance of physical activity and healthy living to the students. If your school is in need of after school programming, please contact our Community Program Director for more details!
