đź’š A little Sunday appreciation for the people who show up for our community.

It was a pleasure connecting with Meagan, the director, and Michael, who helped with transportation, from YWCA Greater Newburyport

Behind every community organization are people working to make a difference for their neighbors. Today, we’re shining a light on the YWCA team and thanking them for the work they do.

Community members helping community members—that’s something we’re proud to be part of here at BoxDrop Seabrook. 💚💙

Visit their page, learn more about their work, and give them a follow. Let’s help more neighbors get to know this local organization! ❤️

At this very moment, a group of young swimmers at the YWCA Greater Newburyport are receiving their Ribbons, marking the end of a very fun Fall Session 1.

Each ribbon represents a core skills level. As swimmers progress through our program, they will receive a new color ribbon at the close of each session marking their advancement.

Reminder, there are no swim lessons next week as we prepare to kick off Fall Session 2 on November 2nd.

Meet Patty, a 25-Year Breast Cancer Survivor and Thriver! đź©·

Patty’s journey began in 2001 with her first breast cancer diagnosis, followed by surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. In 2016, she faced a second, more complicated diagnosis. Having already undergone radiation, Patty chose a double mastectomy followed by oral treatment.

Since 2017, Patty has been a dedicated participant in the YWCA Greater Newburyport’s Encore program for cancer survivors, where she continues to prioritize her health, strength, and well-being. She credits her incredible team of doctors and her regular participation in Encore with helping her stay healthy, active, and physically fit.

For Patty, Encore is about more than exercise. From land and water workouts to the meaningful friendships she’s built along the way, the program has become an important part of her life. Her story is a wonderful reminder of the power of movement, community, and connection through every stage of survivorship.

Here's to 25 years of strength, resilience, and thriving, Patty! đź’•

The YWCA Greater Newburyport's Encore program provides free fitness and wellness opportunities for breast cancer survivors, fostering strength, confidence, and community.

🏠 Did you know that the YWCA has been providing housing since 1885?

For more than 140 years, safe and affordable housing has been at the heart of the YWCA's mission. What began as a commitment to providing women with secure places to live has grown into a vital community resource. Today, YWCA Greater Newburyport provides 120 affordable housing units across Newburyport, Amesbury, and Salisbury, with 40% reserved for households experiencing homelessness. While the needs of our community have evolved, our commitment remains the same: providing housing that fosters stability, independence, and opportunity for all.

Meet Donna H. đź’—

Donna joined the YWCA after moving to Newburyport in June 2026 and has quickly embraced all our community has to offer. Nine years ago, after noticing a persistent lump in her breast, a mammogram revealed what was initially thought to be a cyst was actually Stage 2 triple-negative breast cancer, a form of breast cancer with fewer targeted treatment options. Donna underwent a lumpectomy, followed by chemotherapy and radiation, and has now been cancer-free for nine years.

During her recovery, Donna rediscovered fitness with the Dragon Divas, a dragon boat paddling team for breast cancer survivors recommended by her oncologist. The camaraderie, movement, and uplifting spirit of the team helped Donna rediscover herself as an athlete later in life. Since moving to the East Coast, she has continued paddling with the Wellness Warriors on the Charles River and participates in international festivals bringing together breast cancer survivors from around the world.

At the YWCA, Donna supplements her paddling with strength training and cardio through Water Aerobics, Group Exercise, and regular visits to the Fitness Center - especially the rower! For Donna, movement has become an important part of supporting her health, well-being, and connection to community.

If you’re looking to reconnect with your own health and wellness, come see us at the YWCA Greater Newburyport. Between aquatics and group exercise, fitness and supportive programming, there are many ways to find the movement and community that work for you. 💗
