Why donate?

We’re here for our community.
The YMCA of Lethbridge has been a community serving charity since 1905. Together, we’ve helped people grow and thrive despite economic uncertainty, world wars and global pandemics. It’s at times like these that we remain deeply committed to doing what we do best: creating communities where everyone can connect, belong, and thrive in Southern Alberta.

While we can’t predict the future, we know that with your help, we’ll be able to serve our community in the ways they need it most while everyone gets back on their feet. The Y has been and will continue to be there to help families, children, individuals, and communities grow stronger and more resilient than ever.

We strive to create vibrant and healthy communities where everyone belongs and has equal opportunity to reach their full potential. However, there are formidable challenges to achieving this goal.

When you make a gift to the YMCA, you give us the opportunity to provide support where it has the greatest impact in your community.

Be the difference for people in your community and give today.

Why do I give to the Y? I witness life changing stories of strength, watch young leaders develop confidence and see such a diverse range of people be helped in some way at the Y.

We have seen how important the Y is to the development of young children and teenagers. The fact that anyone can take part in Y programs was important to us.

Y programs connect people, be it physically, emotionally or spiritually. Other people are generous with their time and money and they’re so happy. It’s in us to give. It’s our duty.

I love that the kids in the neighborhood have a safe place to hang out. I hope that the donations enable families in need to be able to access the facilities
