How You Can Help

Stay With Us

Now more than ever, your membership means more. As a non-profit organization, the loss of membership and program fees will bring significant financial challenges to our organization. The Leadership Team and Board of Directors are working diligently to develop a plan to sustain the Y and still be here for our community when this crisis ends. This plan will need to rely on a commitment from our members.

If you are able, we ask that you STAY WITH US to invest in the future of the Y.

Make a Charitable Gift to Support the Y

Whenever there is either a significant financial or health crisis, charitable institutions like the Y are frequently the most vulnerable and may fail, closing their doors. We would hate to see what our community will look like without the Y, and we hope you feel the same.

When we emerge from this crisis it will be more important than ever that the Y is able to open our doors to the community and continue to offer life-changing programs and services that include child care, swim lessons, chronic disease prevention programs, active older adult exercise classes, camp and so much more.

Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to support the Y’s future. DONATE NOW
