STORIES OF US:
THE REAL Y

#TheRealUs
The Y gave me my first chance at a job.
We remember our first jobs because for the first time, someone outside our families saw value in us. They gave us a chance. For Bruce Depew, his chance came from Dave Williams, the Y’s Director of Facilities. I recently had the opportunity to interview them both.

My Camp Experience
I loved attending camp last year because I could interact with children I’ve never met before and could maybe meet with them again the next year.

A girl in my cabin really loved peanut butter truffles and would take them every time our counselor wasn’t looking.

Jessica: Light in a Dark Time
Like many in the River Ridge subdivision, Jessica didn’t get the notice to evacuate from the Carr Fire until after she and her two sons had fled the house. “There were flames on the side of Quartz Hill Road as we drove away. My six-year-old was terrified that we were going to die.” Their home was lost.
