An information Center is now open at St. Frances Cabrini parish, 325 South Oxford Valley Road, Fairless Hills. The public is welcome to stop by during the week to ask questions, see plans, and purchase advanced membership.

The Bristol Township YMCA location served about 6,000 members prior to closing for renovations, while the organization serves about 60,000 members across the county.

In 2019, the YMCA of Bucks County announced the plan to renovate the building after a proposal fell through for a new location. The multi-million dollar renovation began in late 2020.

The YMCA of Bucks County is a merged organization formed in 2018 by the Lower Bucks Family YMCA, Central Bucks YMCA, and Upper Bucks YMCA.

The organization provides $5 million in assistance annually for individuals and families in need, and free programming for veterans, cancer survivors, older adults, and others.
