🧠 Fun Fact: People who stay mentally curious as they age are more likely to maintain strong problem-solving and decision-making skills.

That’s one reason we love Bingo at the YMCA — it keeps minds engaged and brings people together for fun and connection.

📸 Special thanks to Yadkin Family YMCA and Robinhood Family YMCA for sharing memories with us!

🎉 Fun Fact Friday

Staying socially connected after age 55 can support memory, reduce stress, and boost overall well-being. Setting goals—big or small—and staying engaged with others helps us continue to grow in spirit, mind, and body.

At the Y, Active Older Adults reach their goals through group exercise classes, community health workshops, and monthly social activities like Bingo and potlucks. Be sure to check your local branch listings to see what’s happening near you!

🎁 Friday Fun Fact — The Joy of Giving Back

Did you know? Volunteering and giving back not only helps the community, but also improves your own well-being. Studies show that older adults who volunteer regularly experience better physical health, lower stress, and greater life satisfaction.

🤝 Ways to keep spreading spread holiday cheer:

Donate coats, non-perishable food, or supplies to local drives and pantries

Or

Make holiday cards or small gifts for homebound seniors

💡 Bonus Tip: Get involved with YMCA holiday activities and discover ways to connect with and give back to your community. Together, we make the season brighter for everyone!

🎉🎂 December Birthday Celebration at the YMCA REACH Center at Winston Lake

We shared food, fellowship, and holiday cheer while celebrating our December birthdays together at the YMCA REACH Center at Winston Lake. It was a wonderful way to spread joy and connect as a community during the season. 🎄✨

🎄🎁✨Holidays with Heart at the Statesville Family YMCA

Our Active Older Adults helped make the season extra special during Cookies with Santa, a joyful event shared with our Kids Zone families! Several of our AOA members stepped into the roles of Santa, Mrs. Claus, and even a cheerful elf — spreading smiles, laughter, and holiday magic to nearly 100 children and their families.🍪✨

With cookies, chocolate milk, hot chocolate, and plenty of festive cheer, this morning was a beautiful reminder of what the Y is all about: connection, generosity, and caring for one another across generations.

Thank you to our Active Older Adults for leading with heart and helping create meaningful memories for our community. 🎄🎅

🍪 Friday Fun Fact — Healthy Holiday Habits Matter

Did you know? It’s easy to slip out of your regular health routines when the holiday season brings big meals, colder weather, and busier schedules — but small, thoughtful habits can make a big difference.

🍲 Try one or two of these simple holiday-friendly habits:

1. Swap heavy holiday meals for lighter, balanced options — try filling half your plate with veggies or whole grains instead of piling on sweets or rich foods.

2. Stay active even when it’s cold: a brisk walk, chair exercises, or light stretching can help maintain mobility, strength, and balance.

3. Keep stress in check — don’t feel pressure to do it all: take breaks, rest, and enjoy the season at your own pace.

💡 Bonus Tip: Join one of our YMCA holiday-season exercise or mobility classes! Staying connected to community — and to movement — helps your body and your spirit stay healthy through winter.

🎄❤️ Holidays with Heart at the YMCA

This season, we are proud to see the incredible generosity of our YMCA community in action. Across the Association of YMCAs in Northwest North Carolina, our food and clothing donation boxes are being filled by members who care deeply about their neighbors.

Each donation—whether food, warm clothing, or essentials—helps support individuals and families in our local communities during the holiday season. These simple acts of kindness reflect what the YMCA is all about: caring for one another and giving back with heart.🎁❤️

Thank you to our members for continuing to show compassion, generosity, and community spirit. Together, we are making the holidays brighter for those who need it most.
