In retirement I find myself at the YMCA for continued health & fitness which I absolutely love it there. What I didn't realize was all the other programs they provide which continue via supplemental fund raising while membership fees keep the doors open.

When you give to the Y you're strengthening your community through:

Youth Development - Our before and after school programs, camps, and outdoor leadership opportunities promote social and emotional growth, encourage physical activity, and allow kids to explore their passions.

Access for All - To provide equal access for everyone, the Y offers income-based financial assistance for its branches and programs, ensuring that financial constraints don't prevent anyone from using our services. This ensures that the children can learn life saving swimming skills. Food insecurity is addressed here as well ensuring kids have energy to focus in school and families have access to healthy food.

Whole Person Health - We offer support for whole person health through customized wellness plans, disease prevention classes, and counseling and health services for under-resourced communities. They offer pre diabetic education & have a program working with Parkinson's patients
