Child Care Participant Doing Crafts

In these unprecedented times, the Y is committed to addressing the new and changing needs of our community. Starting April 1, all membership accounts will be placed on hold. While we will not be collecting membership dues, we’re counting on your generosity more than ever.

You can help the Y nourish and care for the children of first responders, health care providers, and essential workers, allowing these heroes to focus on their responsibilities while their kids receive safe and enriching care. Please consider donating your regular membership dues to maintain emergency programs for our neighbors who need us right now.

As a cause-driven member, your support ensures our Y can continue to strengthen our community in the midst of this crisis. Learn more about the Y’s emergency response efforts on our website.

Every dollar goes to delivering our mission and impacting lives.
