City Wide Facility Solutions Donates Historic $610,000 to YMCA of Greater San Antonio

City Wide’s record-breaking contribution will directly support YMCA programs, expanding access to essential services for youth and families in the San Antonio area and other local YMCA’s where City Wide Facility Solutions serve.

SAN ANTONIO — City Wide Facility Solutions, a national leader in facilities maintenance management, has presented a historic $610,000 donation to the YMCA of Greater San Antonio. This generous gift, raised during City Wide’s 24th annual company convention—hosted for the first time in Texas—marks the largest single donation in the YMCA’s 150-year history.

Franchise owners from across the nation came together in San Antonio to raise the funds, demonstrating City Wide’s commitment to supporting communities nationwide. Founded in 1961, City Wide has grown from its roots in Kansas City to over 100 franchise locations across the United States and Canada, helping businesses manage their facilities with ease by coordinating over 20 essential services.

For Kristina, this moment brings her journey full circle, as she once benefited from the very programs and services the Y provides to children and families. The YMCA was instrumental in the early childhood development years for Mrs. Moyer—giving her and her little brother a sense of pride and belonging in the community with their after-school activities, sports programs, and summer camps.

“The Annual City Wide Charity Gala was an amazing evening and one I will cherish forever. I am forever grateful that the City Wide family showed up in a big way for Kristina and me to support the YMCA. The night was absolutely electric from beginning to end. With Kristina being a YMCA kid when she was growing up to now coming full circle with us, being able to raise the highest individual donation given to the YMCA of Greater San Antonio in 150 years is truly special. There are no words for how proud I am of the support from the City Wide network in creating this massive ripple. My hope is that this gift allows many kids and adults to have the same opportunities my wife did growing up and maybe one day do the same thing,” said Stuart Moyer, President and Owner of City Wide Facility Solutions of San Antonio.

Louis Lopez, President and CEO of the YMCA of Greater San Antonio, expressed his gratitude: “Last year, we had some of our ongoing funding for teens and mental health pulled, and it was devastating. We continue to hear about the long wait times for quality care and the rise in need across Texas. What you’re doing will help so many in our community and beyond.”

FRESNO, Calif. — PrideStaff, a division of The PrideStaff Companies, is pleased to announce the opening of a new staffing and employment agency in north Atlanta. The new office will offer a full range of temporary and direct hire staffing in a variety of light industrial, manufacturing, customer service, clerical, administrative, legal, and other sectors for employers and job seekers throughout the Northern Atlanta area.

“It’s a true honor to expand PrideStaff’s presence into Northern Atlanta where I can best serve the needs of employers and job seekers across my community,” said Carly Burdock, Owner/Strategic-Partner of the Atlanta (North) office. “I love Atlanta. I’ve lived here for more than 20 years. I’ve worked here, taught in the schools here, raised a family here, and am excited to make a new kind of meaningful impact here. I get to harness the power of PrideStaff’s people, technologies, and processes to match opportunities for the businesses that serve our community with the ever-changing career needs of my neighbors.”

“In Atlanta, we treat each other as neighbors. We all hold a bond to take care of each other. It’s an amazing, supportive dynamic,” continued Burdock, “PrideStaff’s goals and solutions are a perfect fit for our area. We’re here to be a good neighbor, to help each member of our community thrive.”

As a national staffing services organization, PrideStaff provides outstanding service and results by removing the guesswork from staffing. The Atlanta (North) office uses this approach to recruit superior candidates for top employers in their market.

The success of PrideStaff’s approach is evident, as they consistently rank among the highest .1% of staffing firms in the industry. According to ClearlyRated, a business intelligence firm specializing in the staffing industry, PrideStaff earned a client Net Promoter^® Score (NPS) as high as or higher than other well-known brands such as Amazon and Netflix. NPS is computed by subtracting a firm’s detractors from its promoters.
