The $14 million restoration of Lake Houston Family YMCA is complete

Lake Houston Family YMCA Recovers After Harvey Devastation

Lake Houston Family YMCA will host a ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday, June 11 at its newly-reconstructed facility after closing its doors to the community in late 2017 due to water damage from Hurricane Harvey. Thanks to foundations, companies and community donors, the YMCA raised $14 million to aid renovation and restoration.

This location, prior to Harvey, was integral to the surrounding neighborhood; providing a place to call home and members and staff that were truly like families in the community. The YMCA hosted a soft reopening in March to allow members to utilize the space as soon as possible.

WHEN:
11 a.m. – 1 p.m. Tuesday, June 11

WHERE:
Lake Houston Family YMCA
2420 West Lake Houston Parkway
Kingwood, 77339
