HGD’s relationship with the YMCA is more than a sponsorship—it is a hands-on partnership rooted in service. Bill Bross serves on the YMCA advisory board, along with Jeanie Sleadd, and Tzena Gauldin is a past board member who previously chaired the annual fundraising campaign for the Birmingham Downtown YMCA. Their leadership reflects HGD’s long-standing commitment to supporting the Y’s work not only financially, but personally and consistently.
Throughout the year, HGD volunteers with the YMCA to help meet practical needs in the community. As part of the Summer Feeding Program, HGD helps collect and provide individually wrapped, nonperishable snacks, bottled water, pop-top canned goods, fruit cups, applesauce, juice boxes, granola bars, and other kid-friendly food items. HGD also donates reusable insulated bags so families and volunteers can bundle, transport, and distribute food more easily.
