YMCA Mifflin and Sinking Spring Branches Chosen as “2024 Nextdoor Neighborhood Faves”

Jonathan Johnson, Branch Manager & Program Director of Mifflin YMCA, proudly displays the 2024 Neighborhood Faves placard at the entrance. 

Neighbors are recognizing two branches of The YMCA of Reading Berks County as “Neighborhood Faves.” Users of the Nexdoor app selected the Mifflin and Sinking Spring YMCA branches as favorite gyms or fitness studios as part of the “2024 Nextdoor Neighborhood Faves.” This is the eighth year for the annual awards program that allows users to show some love for their favorite local businesses and organizations. The Mifflin branch was also recognized in 2023. 

Both the Mifflin and Sinking Spring branches of the Y offer a robust schedule of fitness activities in updated facilities. From youth and adult sports to fitness classes that range from cardio and aquatics to yoga, dance, and Silver Sneakers, the Y offers a wide variety of fitness and recreational activities for all ages and abilities. 

Every year, the Neighborhood Faves Awards highlight the local businesses that neighbors on Nextdoor love the most. These winners are chosen based on how many “Faves” and recommendations they get from people nearby. Nextdoor, used by one in three households across the U.S., has become a popular resource for neighbors, public agencies, and local businesses to connect and share information that matters in their communities.

“At the Y, our members and community are the heart of our organization. We hold their opinions in the highest regard and to receive recognition based on member feedback is an honor,” said Phillip Borup, President and CEO of the YMCA of Reading & Berks County. 

The YMCA of Reading Berks County has five branches in neighborhoods throughout Berks County. In addition to fitness programs, the Y provides specialty classes, youth programs, early education opportunities, parenting programs, and housing for those experiencing homelessness and/or dual diagnosis of mental health disorders and substance use disorder.
