My grandson came to live with us after his parents got into some trouble. We agreed to foster him but both of us work. When I found out about this day camp it seemed perfect. It was close to my work and it was paid for. It made his summer more fun. He made friends and had plenty of activities...Thanks to everyone who made it happen!
— SEND A KID TO CAMP
After losing my husband, I felt isolated and unsure how to stay active or connected. Thanks to the YMCA’s financial assistance program, I was able to join on a fixed income. Now I take water aerobics, attend senior socials, and have a whole new circle of friends. The Y gave me my life back.
— FIGHT ISOLATION
As a single mom working full-time, finding quality, affordable child care felt impossible. The YMCA stepped in when I needed it most. With financial assistance, my daughter is in a safe, nurturing environment after school—and I have peace of mind knowing she's learning and growing every day.
