Our annual campaign ensures that no one is denied the opportunity to share in the YMCA experience due to an inability to pay. The YMCA’s charitable efforts provide the funding needed to: • Offer financial assistance for children and families who would not otherwise be able to participate in YMCA programs and services. • Provide funding to support camping experiences for low income youth within the Merrimack Valley, southern New Hampshire and throughout the northeast region. • Subsidize outreach programs at all branches that serve specific needs and are not fully supported by fees. Some examples include: Junior and Teen Achievers, Youth and Government, Teen Leaders, youth sports and family programming. • Expand and develop new programmatic initiatives designed to meet community needs. • Provide health, wellness and support for the 73 homeless or near homeless men residing in the Single Room Occupancy housing at the Lawrence YMCA. Both locally and across the globe, the YMCA was founded by volunteers. On an annual basis our Y has engaged more than 800 people of all ages and interests who have contributed more than 45,000 hours to help the Merrimack Valley YMCA accomplish our mission. Their leadership, vision and passion enabled the Y to positively impact the lives of thousands of people. Volunteers are the core of our organization, providing the support we need to make these programs accessible to all. You can find our volunteers everywhere – on the youth sports field coaching, raising funds to help the Y offer more scholarships and programming, and serving on our boards and committees to help us keep our quality up or mentoring our youth and teens. • Make health and wellness opportunities accessible to everyone. Military Outreach helping those who serve us all Through a national partnership with the Armed Services YMCA and Department of Defense that began in 2008, our YMCA gives military families access to youth development, family strengthening, and health and well-being programs. YMCA membership costs may be underwritten by the Department of Defense outreach initiative that is administered through Military OneSource, an information and referral service for military families. Program details and participation requirements are available at our YMCA Welcome Centers. Last year, we delivered more than $3 million of services to needy and deserving children, adults and families. Please consider making a gift to our campaign. Contact the Development Office for more information at 978-725-6681.
