Providing basic needs to ensure health, hope, & dignity
Our mission is to provide essential needs to students by establishing and stocking Hygiene Hubs in school districts. Studies show that lack of access to basic necessities is a leading reason for chronic absenteeism which can leave them less likely to achieve academic success.

What a day! ⛳️

We had a great time on the course Friday for our annual YMCA Golf Outing. Good golf, great company, and plenty of fun along the way!

Best of all, the money raised helps provide financial assistance so more people and families can access the Y and its programs.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and to the sponsors and community partners who helped make the day possible. We couldn’t do it without you.

💜 We loved welcoming our Y families for our Grandparent Luncheon and seeing so many generations gathered around the tables together.

Thank you to all the families who joined us and made the day so special!

Incredible news!

A $1 million investment in the future of our West Licking YMCA! 🎉

We’re incredibly grateful to Illuminate USA for a transformational $1 million gift, the largest corporate gift to our expansion campaign.

Their support brings our campaign total to $4.2 million, surpassing our original $4 million goal, and our new gymnasium will proudly be named the Illuminate USA Gymnasium.

And we’re not done yet. Additional support will help make even more development possible at our West Licking campus.

Help us build what’s next. 💙
