YMCA Resource Centers
YMCA Resource Hubs offer drop-in hours for basic needs, including food, hygiene, household supplies, and parenting items. Shelter referrals, coordinated entry screening, homeless prevention screening, and education and employment resources are also available.
Farm at St. Croix
The Farm at St. Croix (at YMCA Camp St. Croix) produced 6,000 pounds of food in 2021.
Half of their produce feeds YMCA program participants (or is sold to the public through the farm store).
The other half helps provides food security for numerous local school districts – including Hudson, River Falls, New Richmond, and Somerset.
