The Y Cares program is a charity that is very close to my heart because it directly helps people in our community who need it most. Through Y Cares, families can receive financial assistance for things like childcare, swim lessons, summer camp, youth sports, and programs for older adults. These programs give kids a safe place to learn and grow and help families who may be going through a difficult time. Last year alone, more than 5,200 of our neighbors received support, and about 20% of campers were able to attend because of financial assistance. Every donation makes a real difference, and 100% of contributions go directly toward helping individuals and families in our community. Donations are also 100% tax-deductible, and truly appreciated.
