Hopkins. The YMCA, in addition to being an ongoing partner in the Depot Coffee House/Teen
Center project, has been participating in the Blake Road Corridor project. The YMCA has provided
recreational opportunities for all of the children living in the Blake Road Corridor regardless of race
or creed.
