You Can Make a Difference!
One Child, One Family at a Time, Your Donation Can Change Lives
For over 80 years, the Benton Harbor-St. Joseph YMCA Family Center has been committed to making our community stronger through investing in kids, in families, and in the communities we serve. You can become part of that mission through a contribution which makes Y programs and memberships available to those who need it most. Your tax-deductible donation will stay in our community, helping one child and one family at a time.
The YMCA Strong Kids Campaign
Make a Difference Right Here, Right Now
Because we believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve, the Y is for Youth Development. Through the Y, millions of youth are cultivating the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. Y activities give our children the opportunity to become confident kids today and healthier, happier grown-ups tomorrow. Your generous donation will allow us to provide memberships and programs to children and families who cannot afford Y services.
- $1,000+ will sponsor nine Youth Memberships.
- $500–$999 will sponsor a single parent family with a Y Membership.
- $250–$499 will sponsor 3 to 5 children for a month of YMCA Preschool.
