Improving the Health of our Community

You probably walk into our community centers to maintain your health and wellness. But you might not realize we’re more than a gym. The YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties is a non-profit focused on improving the health of our community.  

We know the needs of our community are great, and we’re here to help. Thanks to the support of generous donors, we provide financial assistance to people who need a helping hand.  

People experiencing loneliness and isolation find friendship and connection here. Kids in single-parent households form lifelong bonds with caring adults and mentors. Teens who need a safe place to spend their evenings find a fun and supportive space at the Y.

As a nonprofit, we reinvest our resources directly into our community and into our mission: to build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. In 2025, that meant we poured more than $3.7 million into providing financial assistance for members facing financial barriers.  

From March 1 to April 12, we’re working to raise $1.25 million to continue this work in 2026. 

Will you make a gift of $10/month to help ensure people in our community can access life-changing experiences at the Y?
