YMCA End of the Year Giving- No Place Like This Place
Every community has stories that shine—proof of what’s possible when hope won’t quit. Alyssa’s story is one of those lights. She didn’t get an easy path; she simply refused to stop walking it. With grit, grace, and a quiet fire, she pushed through every locked door until one finally opened.
Her journey reminds us why we give: because a single gift can turn someone’s hardest chapter into the start of their best one.
This year, as you consider how to make a difference, think of Alyssa—resilience rewarded, hope restored, dreams reclaimed. When we lift one person, we lift the whole community.
Supporting the Y’s mission supports stories just like hers.
Heritage Brick Campaign
Paving the Way For YMCA 2.0
Make a lasting impact at the Y through our Brick Engraving Campaign. Whether you are honoring a loved one, celebrating a milestone, or showcasing your business’s commitment to the community, your engraved brick becomes a permanent part of the YMCA’s foundation. Every brick supports programs that strengthen families, empower youth, and create a healthier community for all. Join us in building something that will last for generations.
Empowering Young People
The Y is committed to helping kids reach their full potential with programs that prepare them for school, build their confidence, and close the summer learning gap.
Improving Well-Being
Fitness and well-being activities at the Y go well beyond just working out. In addition to fitness facilities, we provide a variety of programs designed to nurture a healthy spirit, mind and body.
Cultivating Belonging
The Y gives people of all abilities an opportunity to get involved with fitness, recreation, and volunteer opportunities, proving them with a space to feel connected with their community.
Bringing People Together
Community-based service projects make a real difference. Whether it’s planning a food drive or contributing to a community garden, together, everyone can help build a stronger community.
Healthy Aging
Seniors are among the most vulnerable to the impact of social isolation. With a focus on healthy aging, the YMCA addresses all aspects of wellness and helps older adults stay active physically, mentally and socially.
