TOGETHER, WE CAN

MAKE AN IMPACT​

 

At the Central Lincoln County YMCA, our mission is to enrich lives, strengthen community and drive social change.

 

Due to the generous support of our community, we are able to continue to fulfill this mission and provide a safe place every day for hundreds of Lincoln County residents to be healthier, happier and more engaged. We are proud to serve more than 4,000 active community members who utilize our facilities; participate in classes, camps and programs; and most importantly are part of our collective Y family.​

THE CLC YMCA ANNUAL FUND​​

 

Unrestricted gifts to the Annual Fund make a BIG difference in our community and provide the support needed for the CLC YMCA to continue to offer critical resources like:

​​

  • Childcare and after-school care

  • Youth, adult and senior activities, programs and camps

  • Fitness, health management and prevention programs

  • And also provides the vital funding to maintain and sustain our facilities, equipment, staff and volunteers.​

YOUR GIFT MATTERS

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a BIG difference and an immediate impact in our community. 

​​

With YMCA membership fees only covering approximately one third of the costs for the services our community needs and enjoys, a little help will go a long way.

 

We need YOU to MAKE YOUR IMPACT TODAY to help us reach our 2026 Annual Fund goal and continue to support our community members in need.
