The Y is more than just a place; it is a sanctuary of family, community, and fellowship. For over 40 years, I have called the Eastside home, and for more than 20 of those years, I have been proud to be a member of the Eastside YMCA. Here, everyone feels like family, looking out for one another in times of need. It warms my heart to see children and young people finding a safe haven where they can play, learn, and forge lasting friendships.

In this loving and caring community, we come together to support one another. Every dollar you contribute stays right here in our community, empowering programs and services that transform lives every single day. Together, we can ensure that our Y remains a beacon of belonging, support, and opportunity for every individual and family.

As part of the "St. Paul Eastside YMCA 2025 Fall Giving Campaign," I invite you to join us in this mission. Our target is to raise $500 by November 1st. And here's the exciting part: every contribution made through this page will be generously matched by an anonymous donor! Your support can double its impact! Let’s unite to keep our Y thriving for generations to come.
