# Are food and drinks allowed at the YMCA?

## Yes, food and drinks are allowed in designated areas.

Members and guests can consume food and drinks at the YMCA. To keep our YMCAs clean and free of pests, drinks and food are to be consumed in designated areas within the building. Additionally, each YGBW branch has vending machines where snacks and drinks are available for purchase. Members and guests are permitted to have shatter-proof water bottles anywhere in the building.
