Because of YOU, The Y can make a difference in our community!

In communities across the nation, the Y is a leading voice on health and well-being. Over past 15 years, the Y has driven innovation in prevention and control of chronic disease to save lives and reduce healthcare spending. With support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Y delivers tangible results in evidence-based chronic disease prevention and control. Across the country, Ys are increasing opportunities and policies promoting physical activity, improving access to healthy affordable foods and advancing environmental change that makes the healthier choice the easy choice.

Contributing to the YMCA ensures that everyone has equal access to the resources and tools they need to thrive.

The YMCA continues to do the work that needs to be done to offer hundreds of kids before and after school program sites, develop strong families and thriving youth, and increase a sense of belonging. The programs we provide are driven by our mission of serving as a cause-driven organization for youth development to senior citizens and implementing healthy living and social responsibility. Together, we strive to create a stronger community.

Your donation MATTERS. It ensure everyone, regardless of age, income or background has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. It's more than just raising money. It's about the life-changing impact that the YMCA provides by opening doors to those in need. The child who gains confidence through learning opportunities, the active older adult who is no longer isolated and is living a healthy and active lifestyle, a family given opportunities to spend quality time together and so many more. The stories of those who are impacted by the Y have the power to unite and inspire.
