Community Heroes Spruce Up Atmore YMCA

August 7, 2015

Volunteers from the Ensley Lowes and the local community came together Thursday to spruce up the Atmore Area YMCA.

The Ensley Lowes selected the Atmore Area YMCA as their Community Hero Project for the year.  Lowe’s Heroes is a company-wide volunteer initiative that offers Lowe’s employees the opportunity to work on a project in their own neighborhood, helping to make their communities better places to live, work and play.

The volunteers painted, added ceiling fans and updated restrooms at the Y.

Back in 2014, it was announced that the Atmore YMCA would close its doors due to a poor financial outlook. But within just a few weeks the Y announced the community had stepped forward with funding to keep the doors open. The Atmore YMCA has served Atmore and surrounding areas since June 1995. The Atmore YMCA currently has  over 500 memberships representing about 1,250 members.
