VW independent staff/submitted information

The YMCA of Van Wert County is publicly thanking to the Loyal Order of Moose Lodge 1320 in Van Wert for their continued support of the YMCA of Van Wert County as well as other local organizations.

The officers and members of the Moose Lodge have also supported YMCA Camp Clay and YMCA Hickory Sticks Golf course in the past and without the generosity and collaborations with local organizations like the Loyal Order of Moose, the YMCA would not be able to offer high quality programs.

“The donated funds will be used in a variety of ways to support our youth programs, camps, after school programs, homeless families, and children and families with membership challenges” YMCA CEO Hugh Kocab said.

The YMCA helps over 400 children and families with financial challenges, disabled veterans, special needs groups and adults with developmental challenges each year .
