Why Your Gift Matters
When you give to the Y, you’re not just making a donation—you’re making an impact. Your generosity helps us:
- Provide financial assistance so no one is turned away due to inability to pay.
- Support youth programs that help children and teens grow into confident, capable leaders.
- Offer senior wellness initiatives that improve health, social connection, and mobility.
- Fund health and wellness programs that promote lifelong fitness and chronic disease prevention.
- Expand community outreach efforts to ensure that everyone has a place to belong.
Every dollar you give stays in our community and goes directly toward helping those in need.
