8.5 Million Children in the United States Are Enrolled in a Form of Childcare

Today we are getting the word out about the Afterschool Fund. From December 4 until December 13, 2009 JcPenney at the Berkshire Mall will be helping to donate to the Pittsfield Family YMCA's After School Care Program. This program is fundraising made simple, in other words, when one checks at out at JcPenney cash register they will be given the opportunity to "round-up" their change to the next dollar. The left over change will then go on to benefit the YMCA's growing program.

For more informaton, one can visit JcPenney's website at http://www.jcpenneyafterschool.org/.

We want to make sure that people from Pittsfield are aware of the the numerous childcare programs that the YMCA has to offer and that it is knowledgeable of the fact that financial aid is available to any and all participants who would like the options. Our childcare spans from the age of 1 month to 10 years of age. Call 413-499-7650 for more information.
