Bucks County YMCA Merges, Changes Name

BUCKS COUNTY, PA —The YMCA of Bucks and Hunterdon Counties is merging with another to become one regional organization.

YMCA officials told members that the boards of Greater Valley YMCA and YMCA of Bucks and Hunterdon Counties have voted to become one YMCA.

The merger began on Monday and the organization will now be known as the River Crossing YMCA.

The YMCA has locations in Doylestown, Fairless Hills, Warminster, Newtown, and Quakertown in Bucks County. Camps are also located in Doylestown, Warminster, Fairless Hills, New Hope-Solebury, and Quakertown.

The River Crossing YMCA is now a $55 plus million organization with more than 2,000 employees, 142,000 members and participants, 12 membership branches, $12 million in community impact, and $10 million in annual fundraising and grants.

Members and participants across River Crossing YMCA have access to all branches and programs, including Y Wellness 24/7, our online one-stop platform for health and wellness at home or on the go, and the free, donor-supported, specialized YMCA Pathway programs.

"As our work together progresses, so will the expansion of benefits and opportunities for our members," YMCA officials said. "Our volunteer leaders and staff are committed to building upon the excellence of over 100 years of service to the community. With membership locations and child care centers throughout our service area, the Y is here to serve you and your family with a richer YMCA experience. This includes a greater variety of programs and services, as well as the ability to leverage the strengths of each organization to make an even bigger impact in our communities."

"We are stronger together and as we continue to grow, we remain dedicated to strengthening our communities through membership and programs that foster youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility for all," officials said.
