YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles
Three YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles locations are being recommended to people who’d like to drop off essential goods and non-perishables,
said Christina Bragg, senior director of marketing and communications, in an email to The Desert Sun. Those locations are:

The Pasadena-Sierra Madre YMCA: 611 E. Sierra Madre Boulevard, Sierra Madre

Ketchum-Downtown YMCA: 401 S. Hope St., Los Angeles

Santa Anita YMCA: 501 S. Mountain Ave., Monrovia

Clothing is not being accepted, said Bragg. Donations at ymcala.org/actnow is “another way to make a huge difference in our ability to continue offering free childcare and extended hours.”
