Happy New Year!

We hope you have made a safe, happy, and healthy transition into the New Year! As we make our resolutions and set our goals for the year ahead, we like to look back and reflect on year's past.

And what a year that has been! From being closed for 6 months and still feeding our community to going virtual for our staff and members, 2020 was a tough year. With your support, we were able to continue doing really impressive work in Bay County.

Thank you for helping us to serve our community through our Mission to put Christian principles into place through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. YOU made these services possible!

Consider Giving to the Dow Bay Area Family YMCA

Make a financial contribution to the YMCA and help us sustain the YMCA's impact in Bay County and the surrounding community for years to come. Please join us in donating towards our Mission: Forward campaign and help us reach our goal of raising $300,000. This money will help us run the programming that our community has relied on: Before and After School Care, Childcare, Swim Lessons, Emergency Food Box Deliveries, Outdoor Group Exercise, Sports Camps and Leagues. It will also help us pay for annual costs and utilities that keep our building standing. Watch the video below to learn more about our impact in Bay City.

"I have always loved the Y, but seeing how much the Dow Bay Area Family YMCA has helped out our community during the pandemic, it makes me that much more excited to be a member here! 2020 was a difficult, confusing and frustrating year for everyone. It was really encouraging to see the Y’s Youth Food program and the Emergency Food Box program for those in need! What a wonderful blessing for our community!"
