Support Hurricane Relief Efforts
Hurricane Milton has left a lasting impact on families and individuals throughout our community and YMCA of Southwest Florida is dedicated to being a source of support and recovery. Our team has been on the ground since the storm, offering essential resources and opening our doors to serve as a vital Community Hub. We are committed to providing help and hope as families work to rebuild their lives.
In response to the storm, the YMCA offered Community Relief Camps, providing free childcare while schools were closed, and we are extending scholarships to families financially affected by the hurricane. These efforts are made possible by the generosity of donors who support our Children and Families Emergency Scholarship Fund. For many families already struggling to make ends meet, the financial strain caused by the storm has been overwhelming.
At the same time, our own YMCA facilities have suffered significant damage, from roof repairs to flooding. These challenges come on the heels of our recovery from Hurricane Ian just two years ago. While our resolve to serve remains strong, we need your help to continue providing essential programs and services to our community.
Every dollar brings us closer to recovery and allows us to continue serving those who need us most. Together, we can rise above the storm and rebuild a stronger, united community.
