YMCA organizations in Bedford County, Franklin County and Roanoke announced Tuesday that they have reached a reciprocal agreement that will allow members at each location to use the other branches.

The agreement includes branches just west of Bedford and in Moneta, Westlake, Rocky Mount, downtown Roanoke, Salem and Gainsboro.

The organizations represent about 40,000 members and a combined operating budget of more than $10 million.
