Good morning, Salem.

Another Salem organization is stepping up to help teachers and educators who recently lost their jobs.

Western University of Health Sciences Lebanon Oregon

The Family YMCA of Marion & Polk Counties is offering complimentary individual or family memberships through the end of the year to employees of the Salem-Keizer and Silver Falls school districts who were laid off in recent rounds of budget cuts.

A total of 112 Salem-Keizer employees lost their jobs in May. Educators can show they’re eligible with the layoff email they received.

“Our YMCA is more than just a gym; it’s a community hub where people come together to improve their overall well-being,” said CEO Tim Sinatra in a statement. “In these uncertain times, we want to be a source of support and resilience for those who have given so much to our children’s education.”

People with questions about the offer can contact Anna Marquez for Salem-Keizer at [email protected], or Kristi Horner for Silver Falls at [email protected].
