South Shore YMCA

Donate

Rooted in Christian tradition and values, the YMCA seeks to serve all people, regardless of age, gender, race, religion, or economic circumstances.  Our programs and services strive to strengthen the family, guide the youth of today, and meet the ever-changing needs of our community.

Every day, the South Shore YMCA is improving the quality of life for thousands of children and families through our region. We're committed to strengthening the foundations of our communities.  We count on the generosity of our members and partners to keep our doors open to whoever needs a place to go to help them be more healthy, confident, connected, and secure.

When you give to the South Shore Y, your money goes toward quality services and life-changing programs for thousands of seniors, adults, teens, youth, and families in right in your neighborhood.  Each year, more than 5,500 lives at our YMCA are touched through the generosity of people like you who contribute to our Annual Support Campaign.  One hundred percent of every donation goes directly to helping children and families who require Financial Assistance to participate in our programs at reduced rates.  Together, we can continue making our impact in the community, creating extraordinary results!
