The Morris Community YMCA’s Capital Campaign, which is raising funds to develop a new 60,000-square-foot YMCA and healthcare center adjacent to Morris Grade School, is excited to announce a generous $100,000 gift from Financial Plus Credit Union, which will be recognized in the future full facility. 

For more than a decade, the Morris Community YMCA has been serving residents in Grundy County by offering programs in the areas of youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. In May, the Y broke ground on the future Morris Hospital YMCA, which will be built in partnership with Morris Hospital and Healthcare Centers. While the YMCA hopes to open this new facility within the next several years, the size, scope, and timing will ultimately be determined by the generosity of the community in support of this project.

“We could not be more thankful for this incredible gift from Financial Plus Credit Union and the tremendous impact it will have on our future facility,” Chief Operating Officer Missy Durkin said. “We continue to be inspired by the community’s passion for our YMCA.”
