At the Ocean Community YMCA, a donation is never just a number. It’s a swim lesson, a safe place after school, a class that helps someone feel strong again, or a friendly face that turns a hard day around.

Last year, thousands of children, families, and older adults across our community relied on financial assistance to be part of the Y. Some were parents working two jobs who still couldn’t quite cover the cost of camp. Some were seniors living alone who needed a place to move, laugh, and feel connected. Others were kids who just needed a safe, positive place to belong after the school day ended.

Stories like these happen every day at the Y, and they happen because of people like you. When you give to the Westerly-Pawcatuck Annual Support Campaign 2026, you help ensure that everyone in our community can access the programs and support they need, regardless of their ability to pay. Your gift helps open doors, build confidence, strengthen families, and create connections that last a lifetime.

This year, we aim to raise $5,000 USD to continue this vital work. We invite you to join us in making a difference. Together, we can ensure that no one is turned away from the opportunities that foster growth and connection.
