Lost and found items are kept in daily labeled containers along the corridor to the change rooms. They are emptied weekly, washed, and donated to a local charity. Smaller items of value are kept at the Member Services Desk and disposed of on a monthly basis.

Members are required to bring their own towels for use in our fitness and aquatic areas. If you happen to forget your towel, we will be happy to loan you one for a donation to the YMCA Strong Kids Charity.
