NO PLACE LIKE THIS PLACE
This is about belonging.
The YMCA is where kids find their crew, parents find support, and neighbors find connection. Whether it’s scholarships for Y-CAP, afterschool programs, group swim lessons, or food security initiatives, your gift helps make sure everyone in our community can access the Y’s life-changing opportunities. This isn’t just about giving, it’s about belonging. No gift is too small. Every dollar helps build a stronger, more connected community.
There is truly no place like this place!
The first Y in the United States opened on December 29, 1851, in Boston, Massachusetts. Since its inception, the Y has offered physical, educational and spiritual opportunities for both children and adults. Throughout the organization’s history and through their rich Christian heritage, The Y has been taking care of our people and communities by providing: and our own 71 years in our community, the Y has been taking care of our people and communities by providing:
- a place for positive physical activity
- a "home away from home" for military members while on leave
- an inexpensive and safe place for a visitor to stay in an unfamiliar city
- Organized Youth Sports Clinics
- Child Care
- Summer Camp
- Family Assistance during the Holidays
- Swim Lessons
- Free Meals for Youth
Y experiences help children develop valuable skills, gain confidence, and build self-esteem. Each of these programs help young people develop important values such as honesty, respect, responsibility, and caring, which serve as the foundation from which good decisions can be made for the rest of their lives.
Our goal is to raise $60,000 to support our programs such as Y-CAP, our Afterschool & Summer Feeding Programs, and providing financial assistance to kids and families from our community so they can experience the positive values and sense of belonging made possible by the Y. We need your help to achieve it. Your gift does more than help kids get involved-it serves as a call to action to others who recognize your devotion and commitment to the Y’s mission. This is a powerful statement on behalf of the Y and one I hope you can take advantage of. Our Annual Support Campaign, For a Better Us, is one way to do so.
Invest in our community. Make a gift to the Y today.
