Donation and Fundraising Drives
2024 BACKPACK & SCHOOL SUPPLIES DRIVE
Drive Dates: July 22nd – August 2nd
The Y is excited to support our young learners with a new backpack full of supplies to ready them for the upcoming school year!
This year we are focusing our efforts to collect supplies for our 1,400+ After School Education & Safety (ASES) Program students. This program supports low-income families by providing a safe and educational after school environment through state grants and YMCA fundraising. The students receive homework assistance, and healthy snacks, and participate in STEM, leadership, sports, and other enrichment activities.
