Thank you for visiting the YMCA community support page in response to the 7th St. fire.

On April 30 a fire tore through multiple homes on 7th St. in Allentown, displacing nearly 40 residents, destroying most, if not all of their possessions. The American Red Cross has opened a response center to provide victims of the fire food, health services and shelter at the Allentown YMCA, located at 425 15th St. 

In collaboration with community partner agencies, and in response to the outpouring of concern and support from the Greater Valley Y community, we have put together a running list of very specific items needed by the individuals and families receiving services and shelter from the Red Cross at the Y.

This list is being updated in real time, and the YMCA is only accepting donations from the list. If you would like to provide anything you see on the list, please call 610-351-9622 prior to making any purchases, to let us know what you plan to bring, and when you plan to drop it off. We will take calls and donations at the Welcome Center of the branch between the hours of 6AM-6PM, Monday through Friday.
