The holidays are a time to come together as a community, share stories, be generous and spend quality time as a family. For YMCA Northumberland, our entire community is our family. Every year we host our annual community pancake breakfast that is FREE for everyone, members, and non-members. It is an opportunity to enjoy homemade pancakes, fun activities and meet new friends. There will be activities for children, including a bouncy castle, and pictures with Santa. Bring your entire family for a pancake breakfast and join us in celebrating the year that was while looking forward to the year to come.
