What is the YMCA's cause?

At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

What will my money go toward?

Over the years,  the YMCA of Kewanee has given scholarship assistance, as we turn no one away due to the inability to pay. One of the greatest things that separates the YMCA from other organizations is that we are available to everyone, regardless of age, income, or background.  Every child deserves the opportunity to learn core values in order to build strong character.  The YMCA of Kewanee provides that opportunity for every child.  

How is the YMCA Strengthening my local communities?

The YMCA of Kewanee offers a wide variety of programs and services, providing opportunities for adults and children to improve themselves in spirit, mind and body.  The YMCA has fitness classes, swim lessons, and sporting leagues for all ages. All of our programs instill the core values of honesty, caring, respect and responsibility. 

At the YMCA, kids learn character development and life-skills that they will take with them into adulthood.  All of our youth programs instill the core values, build character and teach kids life skills that will help them to grow up to become happy, healthy and productive. 

How can I be helpful in Supporting my YMCA?

Through donations of time or money, volunteerism as board leadership or campaign fundraisers, you can help us to build strong communities by giving everyone the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
