Social Responsibility

The Y's passion is to strengthen the foundations of community. With a commitment to nurturing the potential of kids, promoting healthy living and fostering a sense of social responsibility, the Y ensures that every individual has access to the essentials needed to learn, grow and thrive.

Together, we can make a difference.
As a nonprofit, volunteers and donors make our mission possible. As community and Y members help us, we are able to give back to the community. As an organization, we are socially responsible, and urge our members to be, as well. When we all come together for the community, we are stronger. Learn how YOU can give back and help us make the Y all it can be by volunteering or being a Y donor. 

Social services
We are proud to give back to our community through scholarships and special programs like these:

• Open Doors: Financial assistance for those with a special circumstance, such as a job loss or other financial challenges.
• Youth Sports Financial Assistance: Financial assistance to allow children to explore the joy of youth sports that otherwise would not have the opportunity.
• Special Olympics Scholarships: The YMCA provides membership and personal training for the Special Olympics Area 9 powerlifting team.
• Summer Feeding: We provide meals to children and teens in our community who might not otherwise have food available to them.
• Holiday Food Drives: We provide meals around the holiday season for those less fortunate. 
• Christmas Toy Drive: We provide toys for children in the community through our Angel Tree program.

Through these programs, and others like them, we are changing our community.
