Every day, the Y works to address the most pressing needs in the community it serves by making sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

The Strong Kids, Strong Families Support Campaign helps  individuals and families in need participate in Y programs, such as afterschool care, youth sports, health and wellness, employment skills training, swim lessons, summer camp, teen leadership programs and more.

As one of the leading nonprofits for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, the Y depends on financial gifts to do its vital work. 

In 2010, member and community contributions helped us serve 686 families; 1,347 youth & teens;  and provided 636 program scholarships. In 2010 the YMCA provided $230,000 in community support.

To support the work of the YMCA in the Greater Kalamazoo area you may donate online or stop by any branch location.
