Now, more than ever, there are families all around us in need of a helping hand. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on many of our neighbors. Throughout the year, our donors have enabled the YMCA to provide hunger relief, academic enrichment, and financial assistance to those in need. The YMCA is dedicated to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion for all and offers programming to address opportunity gaps. There are many ways to give. Find the right gift opportunity for you.
Established in 1889, the YMCA of Delaware serves more than 120,000 individuals annually at 7 full-facility locations, one urban youth development center, two outdoor recreation complexes, one overnight resident camp, and at over 40 statewide school partnership sites. We believe that we are stronger when our doors are open to all, allowing everyone the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.
For over 130 years, our YMCA has worked to empower youth, foster healthy living and promote strong communities. Our work prevents chronic diseases like diabetes, combats educational equity by serving more than 30,000 young people, and enables all Delawareans access to life-changing programs. In 2023, we served 121,000 youth and adults across the state and provided over $4.2 million in financial support to ensure everyone had access to critical YMCA services.
