Hockomock Area YMCA Opens Facilities to Area Residents Without Power

The Hockomock Area YMCA is opening its Franklin and North Attleboro Branches to area residents who have lost power.

The Hockomock Area YMCA is opening its Franklin and North Attleboro Branches to area residents who have lost power.  According to YMCA President Ed Hurley, “We want to help our neighbors in our local communities who have been impacted by Sunday’s storm.  In this spirit, we are opening up our facilities for people to take a hot shower, charge their cell phones, or simply  get out of the house.  Our YMCA’s doors will be open to all during this difficult period.”

The Hockomock Area YMCA’s Foxboro Branch did not open on Monday and will remain closed until commercial power is restored.

Those who wish to visit one of the Ys, must bring an ID and fill out a guest pass form in order to access the locker rooms.  Individuals and families will be able to use Hockomock Area YMCA facilities free of charge as long as they are without power.  The YMCA hours are 5:15 am – 9:30 pm.  For additional information, please call the Member Service Desks at our Franklin Branch (508) 528-8708 or our North Attleboro Branch (508) 695-7001.
