Why Give to the Y
At the Y, we believe we have something special – a sense of community – and that everyone should have access to it, along with the programs and services that help us learn, grow, and thrive. With your help, the Y can continue to provide and improve our life-changing programs to meet the growing needs of our community.
Donations give us the capacity to connect, support, and serve our children, teens, families, adults, and seniors each year with programs and services that make our community stronger.
Every dollar donated to the YMCA makes a lasting impact on the people of Streator.
