Cumberland Cape Atlantic YMCA

Our YMCA supports our community through our annual Bless it Forward Holiday Donation Drive.  Our mission is that everyone is able to wake up Christmas morning with food to eat and gifts to unwrap together.  This program is open to all individuals and families in the surrounding Cumberland County area who are experiencing financial or personal hardship.     

Our 5^th Annual “Bless It Forward” holiday donation drive was an amazing success! Each year we support those in need in our community with gifts, household items, food and other much needed resources. In 2023, we assisted 487 individuals and 1000+ gifts were wrapped.

Live Healthy Vineland: 

Our Y is a partner with the Vineland Health Department working to create a better place for residents to live, work and play.

LIVE HEALTHY VINELAND (LHV) is a partnership of several public and private organizations that aim to make Vineland a healthier place to live, work and play. The initiative is an extension of the New Jersey Partnership of Healthy Kids (NJPHK-V), which was founded in 2009 with co-directorship by the Cumberland County YMCA and the Vineland Health Department through funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. LHV aims to expand the reach and accomplishments of NJPHK-V through a variety of community, school, and work based initiatives.

Live Healthy Vineland's primary focus at this time is the "Community Hub" initiative, taking place in four locations around Vineland:

• Downtown Deli
• Vasquez and Diaz
• Rock of Salvation Church
• La Unica

These locations host local organizations and businesses offering resources and services to residents who may otherwise not be able to access them. 

Previous successes have included:

• The Healthy Corner Store initiative; this initiative laid the groundwork for our current "Community Hubs"
• Safe Routes to Schools; completed four travel plans in conjunction with the City of Vineland and Vineland Public Schools to ensure students had a safe route to get to school when walking
• Worksite Wellness; 20 companies participated 2015-2018 reaching over 21,000 employees to make their health and well-being a main priority in their daily routine
• Park Hop series; ran from 2015-2017 with local parks hosting a variety of health and wellness events, such as Yoga in the park, for area residents
• Healthy Restaurant week; 25 local restaurants participated in highlighting healthy options on their menu, to help make healthier meal decisions
• Farm to Pantry; worked with 13 pantries and seven local farmers to provide food assistance to over 2,000 families in 2019
