IMPORTANCE OF GIVING

Donated dollars provide membership and program assistance for individuals and families who could not afford to participate otherwise.

YMCA OF SOUTH FLORIDA
The Y is a place for anyone who needs us. With our doors open to all, we support kids, adults, seniors and families with programs that teach, connect and strengthen.
Our members, volunteers, supporters and staff demonstrate the power of what we can achieve by giving back together. This year, during this unprecedented health crisis, it is even more important that we support our neighbors in need.
From feeding seniors in need to providing child care for essentials workers, and now to giving the community a place to get active and stay active, the Y is always there for the community, helping South Florida family thrive. But we can’t do it without your help. As a non-profit, we depend on the generous support of our community partners like you.
Every dollar donated to the YMCA of South Florida has a lasting impact on the people of South Florida. Please help us help our community during this time of crisis by giving to the Y’s Annual Campaign.
Together, we can make a difference.
