Be A Sustaining Member
The YMCA of Central Ohio has been serving our community since 1855. Over those 164 years, we have adapted to meet the ever-changing needs of the Central Ohio Community. That is no different today. While the world navigates a pandemic that is having rapid and severe impacts on our collective quality of life, health, wellness and safety. The YMCA of Central Ohio is making strategic and operational pivots to fight COVID-19 and provide services to our community members who are most impacted and most vulnerable.
The YMCA’s mission-focused work continues and is growing by the day to meet our community’s needs. However, we find our organization in a difficult time because memberships to centers serve as our primary source of revenue to serve the community.

- Produce Give-Aways (Every Weds)

Homeless Shelters
The YMCA is focused on serving those most in need during this crisis with our Community Shelter Board partners. Our homeless community and supportive housing community are some of the most vulnerable. Our team is working to provide a healthy, safe living environment as well as expanding emergency shelter access to over 200 people.
New American Welcome Centers
The YMCA’s New American Welcome Centers (NAWC) are designed to help immigrants—also referred to as newcomers—fully integrate into American society and prepare receiving communities to be welcoming and inclusive.
ECRN+ Stable Families Program
At the Y, through our Early Childhood Resource Network + program (ECRN+), we empower families to create and maintain stable environments where children can grow and thrive. By intentionally focusing on school stability, secure and appropriate housing, and increasing household income, we aim to promote long-term family success.
