We invite all veterans to join our Veteran-Centric Water Aerobics class, a great way to stay active, improve mobility, and connect with fellow veterans. Led by the MOVE! program from the VA, this class focuses on low-impact exercises that provide a full-body workout, helping to build strength, flexibility, and endurance while reducing joint stress. It’s an excellent opportunity to improve overall health in a supportive and encouraging environment with others who understand your experiences. The class meets every Thursday from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the YMCA, and we encourage you to come out and take advantage of this great program. Your well-being matters, and we’re here to help you stay strong!

2025-07-19 11:00 - 14:00 | Saginaw YMCA: Lawn, 1915 Fordney St, Saginaw, MI, 48601, United States
Our Veterans Stand Down is an event or initiative designed to provide support and resources for homeless or at-risk veterans. It typically brings together various community organizations, service providers, and volunteers to offer a range of services to veterans in need. These services often include:

VA Programs and Services
Health Screenings
The Vets Center
Saginaw County Community Mental Health Authority
American Legion VSO
Food Distribution
Bayshire Beauty Academy Haircut Vouchers
Clothing and Blanket Distribution

The main goal of a Veterans Stand Down is to provide a welcoming, supportive environment for veterans, helping them regain stability and connect with the resources they need to improve their lives. The events typically take place in a safe, temporary setting, often over one or two days.
It’s an important community-driven event aimed at showing gratitude and ensuring that veterans receive the care and support they deserve after their service.
