Press release from the YMCA of Western North Carolina:
Join the YMCA of Western North Carolina as we celebrate Older Americans Month at Community Healthy Living Day on May 3.
The event at the YMCA at Mission Pardee Health Campus will feature a wide variety of offerings for all ages, including group exercise classes, a shredding truck, prescription drug take back, activities for children, nutrition demos, health screenings, and local vendors.
The Blood Connection will also be on site for a blood drive. Every person who donates blood will receive a $10 gift card. The Blood Connection will also donate $10 to the Y for blood donation.
“You are never too old or too young to participate in activities that can enrich your physical, mental, and emotional well-being,” said Diane Saccone, director of healthy aging initiatives at the YMCA of WNC. “If you need help, support, or just a place to get started, community-based organizations like the Y provide the needed guidance to help older adults age well.”
Community Healthy Living Day takes place Friday, May 3 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at the YMCA at Mission Pardee Health Campus on Hendersonville Road in Arden.
