When you belong to the Y, you are not only a member of a great gym, you're part of a cause dedicated to strengthening our community. The YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles has been here to support the needs of the LA’s communities for nearly 140 years, continually finding innovative ways to use our resources offer solutions. Here's what the Y is doing right now to help Angelinos in need:
Food Distribution
The Y has established a number of different avenues to get food to the homebound and the food insecure.
Child Care
Although the Y has had to pivot its programming in response to the COVID-19, we continue to offer child care and distance learning support at several locations.
Senior Services
The LA Y is delivering nutritionally balanced meals to homebound seniors multiple times each week and performing wellness checks on this community.
Blood Drives
We've partnered with the ARC to host blood drives so we can help make sure that this critical medical need is met for our community.
Shower Program
We've opened several of our locations for people experiencing homelessness to use for showers and restrooms.
More To Be Done
As we head into 2021, we believe the challenges will be even greater. While we’re optimistic about the vaccine, we know that the impact of the pandemic on our communities will be significant.
Thank You for Your Support
Our partners, volunteers, and key leaders throughout the Y family have been an invaluable resource for our communities and a beacon of Social Responsibility. With deepest gratitude, we here recognize and honor the thoughtful kindness of our YMCA Community Impact Fund donors.
