The South Shore Y is proud to join YMCAs around the globe for an annual YMCA DAY OF GIVING,  a day that highlights the work we do to strengthen the community together…thanks to your generosity.

100% of all donations received on our 2024 YMCA DAY OF GIVING as part of our Y Annual Campaign are returned to the community in the form of membership financial assistance, camperships, program funding for adults, seniors, children and families, community outreach and services such as our Germantown Neighborhood Center Food Pantry and farms.

Please give online or stop by your local SSYMCA branch during this year’s YMCA Day of Giving to show your support. Together we can continue to make a difference in the lives of thousands of people across the South Shore.

Why Donate to the YMCA

Hear how single mom Nicole worked her way out of a shelter, finished school, and got back on her feet thanks to the support and generosity of our Y community. “It’s not a hand out, it’s a hand Up.”

South Shore YMCA Member Testimonials


Annie

“In life, we face all types of challenges, and I can truly say the YMCA always gets me back to my happy place. The Staystrong program helped keep me going throughout my cancer treatments, staying mentally and physically fit. Now I’m honored to give back and help assure others have the opportunity to participate in this life-changing program.”



Julian

“Living in a coastal community with young children, I knew how important it was for my kids to learn water safety skills,” said Julian’s mom. “Knowing Julian is now comfortable in the water and is learning these life-saving skills at the Y gives me peace of mind. He’s learning how to come into the water when invited, how to pull himself out, how to float. I am so thankful to Bailee and the whole team who have helped Julian thrive.”



Chris

“I first came to the South Shore Y with a walker and a goal to focus on my recovery. I had a bad accident that damaged my back and the nerves to my leg. The Partnership Team here was able to help me transfer my rehabilitation exercises to the machines and other equipment here at the Y. The Partnership Team is always willing to help out and is determined to help me get to my goal of walking without the concern of falling. I’ve regained much of my mobility and have the team here to thank for taking the time to work with me. They helped me so much that I look forward to returning the favor and begin volunteering in the program as a way to give back to a community that helped me so much.”

How Your Donation Helps

Here are just a few of the ways your donation to the South Shore YMCA helps support our community:

  • Food Pantry: Every week our South Shore YMCA Germantown Neighborhood Center Food Pantry provides hundreds of families with essential food amidst rising grocery prices. Your support ensures that no one in our community goes hungry.
  • Water Safety & Swim Lessons: Drowning is a leading cause of childhood deaths, especially in coastal communities. Our Y is committed to providing water safety instructions to all, thanks to donations from our community.
  • Medical Wellness: Our Medical Wellness and Staystrong programs help individuals with certain medical conditions to manage and even overcome the obstacles that stand in their way of becoming healthier through exercise programs, support, and education.
  • Send a Child to Camp: Now, more than ever, kids need the connection, friendships, and life-changing learning experience of YMCA camp. Our day camp and resident camps ensure that thousands of children are engaged, outdoors, and cared for during the summer months.
  • Adaptive & Inclusive Programming:  The Y is committed to creating an environment where everyone can belong and become their better selves. Support from the community helps extend adaptive fitness, sports, support, and recreational programming for adults and children with physical disabilities, and inclusive programming for individuals with developmental disabilities.
