As we prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday, and thinking of all we are grateful for, we are also reflecting on everything that has changed this year. We want you to know that our entire YMCA is grateful for you and your support this year. We’ve suffered significant economic loss and setbacks due to suspending our operations and delivering limited services. Now more than ever, the region needs the YMCA to be strong, well poised to respond to crisis, focused on the community’s ...needs and positioned for the future. Join thousands of donors across the world on Tuesday, December 1st, to make a gift designated to the Capital District YMCA. Not only will 100% of your donation remain local, but your gift will make a direct and immediate impact on the individuals and families being helped through our response in so many ways: Sustaining the YMCA our staff works hard every day to maintain a safe environment for our members to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Food Programs and Partnerships ensuring that kids and families know where their next meal is coming from. Racial Equity and Inclusion continuing to provide safe spaces and progressive programming to pave the way for at-risk youth. Supporting Our Children providing care for healthcare workers almost immediately once the pandemic began. You don't have to wait until December 1st to donate.
