The YMCA of Owen Sound Grey Bruce is delighted to once again receive the support of Zehrs' Give a Little, Help a Lot campaign to assist children in Grey Bruce. The campaign invites members of the community to support healthy, active living opportunities for children by donating to the YMCA.

From July 27 to August 9, Zehrs Markets stores in Ontario invite shoppers to Give a Little, Help a Lot by adding $2 to their grocery bill in support of their local YMCA. All funds collected from the Owen Sound Zehrs store will provide the financial assistance to allow kids in Grey Bruce to participate in health-focused YMCA programs like camps, cooking classes, after-school programs, or sports and swimming through health and fitness memberships.

"The Give a Little, Help a Lot campaign enables children, no matter their financial circumstances, to attend the Y to make friends, get active, learn new skills and gain confidence," says Ellen Alstein, Communications Lead at the YMCA of Owen Sound Grey Bruce. We ask the community members of Grey Bruce to help to create these meaningful development experiences for children by donating to support YMCA programs."

The YMCA has always advocated for and supported the development of happy and healthy children, and the community's support continues to help make this possible.

For nine years, Zehrs Markets and their parent company, Loblaw Companies Limited, have been working with the YMCA to create opportunities for children to connect with each other and gain healthy habits that will last a lifetime.
