Your Contributions in Action

When you give to the Y, you support critical programs and services for young people, adults and families who need them the most. As a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening communities, the Y relies on the support of neighbors like you to enable us to fulfill our commitments. From ensuring that kids have a place to thrive before and after school, to teaching people life skills in our Safety Around Water program and more, your contributions allow everyone to access the resources and support they need. Your charitable contributions help make a big impact in the lives of so many people in our area.

 

Contributions to the Annual Campaign help us to:

  • provide programs that support our community

  • offer water safety and swim lessons to people of all ages

  • provide transitional housing for homeless adults and those recovering from addiction

  • distribute healthy meals to school-age youth
  • offer childcare in over 15 locations
  • ensure everyone has a chance to succeed and belong at the Y

 

Help give young people a chance at a better future, inspire healthy lifestyles for everyone and build vibrant communities right where you live, and beyond.
