YMCA programming is known for its welcoming environment, friendship, healthy activity, and positive impact – an impact that’s especially meaningful for children, teens, seniors, newcomers, and people who are experiencing financial hardship. The YMCA is for everyone!

Your donations make this work possible, right here in our local communities across Southwestern Ontario – from Sarnia in the west, south to Chatham, up north to Goderich, and east to Woodstock (plus a special Georgian Bay outpost, which is YMCA Camp Queen Elizabeth, as well as YMCA Camp Henry in Point Pelee National Park).

Thank you for helping YMCA of Southwestern Ontario create opportunities so no one in our community gets left behind. We’re grateful for your generosity!
