You Make this Possible

If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s this: togetherness is important.

Well before COVID-19, the Y has been the heart of our community, bringing people together to better themselves with the help of each other.


“I take a variety of classes at both the Summit YMCA and the Berkeley Heights YMCA – I’m a social exerciser. Coming to the Y and being around other people has become more important because of the pandemic. Exercise is important for not only maintaining my physical health but also my emotional health.” – Smitha M, Y Member

COMMUNITY IMPACT

Whether it’s the first-generation high school student in need of help navigating the college admissions process, the parent in need of child care as they return to work, or the senior strengthening their body after an injury, your donations make sure there is a place for them at the Y.

Please help us so that we can continue to help our community.
