At the Stratford YMCA, we believe that when neighbors come together, families grow stronger and communities thrive. Every day, your Y opens its doors to children, seniors, and families who find more than programs here. They find connection, care, and belonging.
Your gift makes that possible. It turns a moment of need into a moment of hope, and a new face into family.
Here's how your generosity changes lives:
• $1,000 provides one month of childcare, giving parents peace of mind and kids a place to learn, laugh, and grow.
• $500 sends two children to camp for two weeks, creating memories, friendships, and confidence that last a lifetime.
• $350 ensures a child with developmental disabilities can take private adaptive swim lessons where every splash celebrates ability and joy.
• $300 gives a senior a three-month membership, helping them stay healthy, active, and connected.
• $250 covers a full session of swim lessons, teaching life-saving skills and self-esteem.
• $110 supports an Adult Learn to Swim class, showing that it's never too late to conquer fears and build confidence.
• $100 fills our Food Pantry with healthy meals that nourish a Stratford family in need with dignity and care.
At the Y, every dollar is more than a donation. It is a hand extended, a heart opened, and a promise that no neighbor stands alone.
