Give the Gift of a Stronger Community
The Season of Giving extends beyond the November donation drive. Donations to the YMCA of Delaware help children discover their potential, families access essential resources, and neighbors improve their health and well-being.
Through the YMCA’s Annual Campaign, the Y provides financial assistance to ensure cost isn’t a barrier to participation. Community support also makes youth development programs, childcare, sports and recreation, water safety education, chronic disease prevention, and other essential services possible, helping Delawareans thrive.
Community members can make a difference in several ways, including donating to their local Y’s Annual Campaign, volunteering, participating in Giving Tuesday, and supporting year-end fundraising efforts.
