We all belong
Choose a Y location to support, and your gift will stay close to home. Every donation helps make sure everyone in our community has access to Y programs, resources and the chance to thrive.
Not sure which location to support?
Give to the Gaston County Family YMCA, and we will direct your gift where it is needed most across all our locations.
What your gift does
Behind every Y program are real costs: financial assistance for families, supplies for youth programs and trained staff who lead and mentor. Your gift goes directly to this work, so we can keep serving everyone in our community.
$25 — Fuel A Child's Day
After a full day of learning, kids need a healthy snack. Your gift gives them the energy to keep playing, learning and growing.
$50 — Provide a Safe Place
Give one child a week of Y afterschool, full of learning, play and support, no matter their family's ability to pay.
$100 — Teach Lifesaving Skills
Drowning is a leading cause of death for children under 5. Your gift helps one child learn lifesaving skills through Safety Around Water.
$150 — Change a Child's Summer
Send a child to a week of Y summer camp, where they will make friends, try new things and make memories that last.
$250 — Build Confidence Through Play
Help three children discover their strengths and build confidence through Y youth sports, no matter their family's ability to pay.
$750 — Enhance a Senior’s Well-Being
Many older adults face barriers to staying active and connected. Your gift opens the door to fitness, friendship and support for spirit, mind and body.
$1,000 — Be a Champion for a Cancer Survivor
No one should have to choose between recovery and financial strain. Your gift provides one adult with the full LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program, helping them rebuild strength, confidence and community.
$1,500 — Feed Kids This Summer
When school is out, many kids go without regular meals. Your gift helps one Y site provide daily meals and summer activities for children who need them.
