Benefiting The Taking Charge of My Life & Health veterans program: Proceeds from this event will help fund our programs for veterans at the Jefferson City Area such as the Taking Charge of My Life & Health (TCMLH) program. The TCMLH program is a partnership between the Y and the Truman VA Hospital. Participating veterans receive a free membership to all three of our Y locations for two months during the program where they meet once each week to learn and practice skills for improving their lives as part of a supportive group.
