🚚 Calling All Food Truck Owners! Join Our Food Truck Friday Series 🍴🍰

The Aiken County Family YMCA is excited to invite local food truck owners to participate in our Food Truck Friday summer series, running every Friday from June 5th through July 17th.

Each Friday from 11:00AM-3:00PM, we will host two food trucks:

• One lunch-focused food truck

• One dessert-focused food truck

This weekly event draws YMCA members, families, and community partners looking for great food and a fun way to kick off the weekend—making it a fantastic opportunity to showcase your menu, grow your customer base, and give back at the same time.

❤️ Why partner with us?
All proceeds from Food Truck Friday support our A Place To Dream bed program, which provides children in the Aiken community with a safe, comfortable bed to sleep in at night. Your participation helps create real, lasting impact for local families while aligning your business with a meaningful community cause.

✨ What you gain:

• Exposure to hundreds of YMCA members and families

• Promotion through YMCA marketing channels

• A consistent, family-friendly venue

• The opportunity to support a powerful local mission

If you’re interested in reserving a Friday or would like more details, we’d love to connect and partner with you this summer.

Let’s serve great food and make a difference—together.

Aiken County Family YMCA Polar Plunge

Survive the Cold to Strengthen Our Community

Join us Saturday, February 28th at 9:00 AM on the pool deck and take the plunge to raise critical funds and awareness for our Safety Around Water program.

Safety Around Water is a FREE, life-saving program for children in our community, designed to reduce the risk of drowning while building confidence and essential skills in and around the water. Through this program, children learn how to stay safe, overcome fear, and develop a lifelong respect for water—at no cost to families.

After your plunge:

• Warm up at our hot chocolate and coffee bar ☕
• Celebrate your bravery!
• Connect with others who are passionate about making a difference.

Help us make a lasting impact on our community by raising funds to ensure every child has access to water safety education that can truly save lives. Brave the cold, support a powerful cause, and be part of something that matters.

Are you ready to take the plunge?
