At the YMCA, we believe in giving back.

Every contribution, such as time, talent, energy, or funds, strengthens our community. We are a cause-driven organization, deeply committed to youth development, fostering healthy living, and promoting social responsibility.

Annual Giving Supports:

  • Financial assistance for memberships, child care, programs & services, and camp. In child care scholarships and assistance alone, over $556,000 were disbursed in 2025 to support children (newborn - 5th grade) in our child care programs.
  • Our Food Programs, providing healthy meals and snacks to children, teens, seniors, and rural communities. In 2025, we provided 632,750 meals and snack through our programs.
  • Swim programs that teach skills and build confidence for swimmers of all ages and backgrounds. In 2025, 3,253 youth participated in swim safety programs.

When you join us, you’re making a lasting impact. Our existence thrives on the generosity of our members and donors, enabling us to enhance the spirit, mind, and body of all.
