UPDATE: Hockomock and Pleasant Street YMCAs Open Doors for Neighbors

The Franklin and North Attleboro branches of the Hockomock YMCA and Attleboro's Pleasant Street branch are opening their doors to people in Attleboro and other nearby communities who were impacted by Tropical Storm Irene. 

“We want to help our neighbors in our local communities who have been impacted by Sunday’s storm," said YMCA President Ed Hurley. "In this spirit, we are opening up our facilities for people to take a hot shower, charge their cell phones, or simply get out of the house. Our YMCA’s doors will be open to all during this difficult period."

The Hockomock Area YMCA’s Foxboro branch and the Attleboro YMCA's downtown branch will remain closed until commercial power is restored.

Those interested in taking the YMCA up on its offer must bring an ID and fill out a guest pass form in order to access the locker rooms.

The Hockomock Area YMCA facilities will be open free of charge as long as the community is without power. The YMCA hours are 5:15 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. For information please call: Member Service Desks at our Franklin Branch (508) 528-8708 or our North Attleboro Branch (508) 695-7001.
