YMCA Disaster Response

Every day, YMCAs respond to the specific needs of the communities they serve. When disasters strike, we are there to take action, provide support and help families and communities recover.   

Hurricane Relief

The destruction caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton was severe and widespread, and YMCAs and Y camps are currently hard at work supporting their communities—even as they work to recover from significant damage to their facilities. If you can, please consider donating to those Ys affected by these devastating storms. 

  • Social Responsibility

    Our communities have unique needs for which the Y provides innovative solutions. Via initiatives like advocacy, social services and volunteerism, our commitment to serving and inspiring others to serve thrives.

  • Community Programs

    The Y provides community programs that are tailored to the needs of the community. In times of disaster, the Y offers programs like camps and child care while a community gets back on their feet.

  • Togetherhood Resources

    The Y's Togetherhood™ program invites volunteers of all kinds to work on a project designed for a particular community. This is a great way for volunteers to build relationships, improve their well-being and discover a sense of purpose.

Support the Y

When you support the Y, you give young people a chance at a better future, foster healthy lifestyles and help build vibrant communities right where you live.
