At one time or another in our life, we all need a hand.  And, at the Y, we extend a hand everyday as a welcoming place for those with differences, a support network for working parents, a summertime favorite spot for kids and a home-away-from-home for healthy meals when there’s not enough to go around.

How do we do all of this?  We count on the generosity of our members and community to help people of all ages and from all walks of life.  With your gifts, we provide vital community programs and extend financial assistance to the kids, adults and families that need us most.

YMCA of Greater Erie 2010 Annual Report

The Y is the unparalleled cause for strengthening community because we are the community. We believe that lasting personal  and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors.  That’s why, at the Y, strengthening community is our cause.  Every day we work alongside our neighbors in the community to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn grow and thrive.

At the YMCA, no one will be denied membership or program participation because of inability to pay.

Financial assistance keeps the Y available for kids and families who need us most. We count on the generosity of our members and community to help people from all ages and from all walks of life be more healthy, confident and secure.

When you give your gift to the Y, your gift will have a meaningful, enduring impact right in your own neighborhood.  Our We Build People scholarships will provide more than $900,000 in assistance to some 6,000 children, teens, families and adults through memberships and services that can have a lifelong impact on their spirit, mind and body.
