Christian County YMCA is about $16,000 short of its $45,000 38th Annual Strong Kids Sustaining Drive goal. 

Director Bruce Blanshan says he’s extending the drive through the rest of the month. 

The “Y’s” charitable membership opportunities for those who have fallen into financial hardship heavily depend on their annual sustaining drive. 

Even though they haven’t met their goal, Blanshan says they are ahead of schedule compared to last year’s effort. 

There are dozens who depend on the sustaining drive every year, and it allows more community members to participate in YMCA programs.
