Beginning April 1, 2022, the Hunterdon County YMCA in NJ and YMCA of Bucks County in PA will come together to create one YMCA across the two counties, operating as YMCA of Bucks and Hunterdon Counties and led by President/CEO Zane Moore. As a result, Y members and participants from both sides of the river will benefit from the specialized programming offered at each location and shared resources for facility and program enhancement. Members can use all seven member branches and will receive member pricing on programs at all locations.
In Pennsylvania, YMCA of Bucks and Hunterdon Counties operates member branches in Doylestown, Fairless Hills, Newtown, Quakertown and Warminster, with child care centers in Morrisville, New Britain, New Hope and Quakertown. In New Jersey, the Y includes Round Valley Branch in Annandale, and Deer Path Branch in Flemington, with child care centers in Annandale and Milford. Outdoor camp locations include Camp Carr in Clinton Township, NJ and Holland Outdoor Center in Holland, PA. With revenue of over $25 million, the new Y will employ nearly 2,000 people, serve more than 70,000 members and participants, and provide over $5 million in annual charitable community impact.
“As a combined YMCA, we truly are stronger together and remain committed to building upon the excellence of over 100 years of service to the community,” said Zane Moore, president/CEO of YMCA of Bucks and Hunterdon Counties. “Our members and community participants will benefit from a greater variety of programs and services, as well as our ability to leverage the strengths of each organization for mutual benefit.”
In August of 2021, following the retirement of President/CEO Bruce Black, Hunterdon County YMCA entered a management agreement for YMCA of Bucks County to provide executive leadership to Hunterdon County YMCA under President/CEO Zane Moore. During that time, volunteer leaders from both organizations underwent a process of due diligence resulting in the agreement to bring the YMCAs together as one.
YMCA of Bucks and Hunterdon Counties is a charitable, nonprofit organization committed to strengthening communities through membership and programs that foster youth development, healthy living and social responsibility for all. Annually, the Y serves nearly 70,000 members and participants at its seven member branches, seven child development centers, and 13 camp locations across Bucks and Hunterdon Counties. YMCA of Bucks and Hunterdon Counties provides over $5 million of community impact annually in the form of financial assistance to individuals and families in need and free programming for veterans, cancer survivors, older adults and more.
