The YMCA never actually closed down at all this year, but what it did do was continuously change what it offered and act as a community resource.
"We are a resource for what the community has always wanted us to be and now they're seeing us in that light," says David Kisselback, president and CEO of the Meadowlands YMCA.
As New Jersey navigates through the pandemic, so have Kisselback and his staff. They've gone from providing emergent child care services for essential workers, to a preschool and a day camp, a community pool, fitness classes, and a wellness center that is more than just a regular gym.
