The Valley-Shore YMCA receives hundreds of requests for financial assistance each year.  Thankfully, through the generosity of people like you, the YMCA has been able to satisfy most of these requests.  Unfortunately, the need continues to grow and more individuals need help each year.

The Valley-Shore YMCA provides over 7,000 people living in its twelve town service area with programs for children, teens, adults, senior citizens and families.  We build a person's strength from the inside out.  YMCA programs are designed to build character, improve one's health, promote self-esteem, and strengthen the bond among people, their families and the community.  To build strength, the Y must remain strong.

With your help, the YMCA can continue to build individual strengths.  Kids, families, communities can connect with one another and have a place where they will belong.  This has never been more important than it is today.  Promotoing a healthy lifestyle has become a critical need in every community.  And it's up to each of us to ensure that this community resource remains strong!

If you would like to help your community and help meet some unanswered needs, help us raise fund support for the Strong Kids Campaign.
