Your gift helps ensure that financial assistance is available for YMCA memberships and programs to help young people achieve their potential, empower people of all ages to lead healthier lives, and strengthen the bonds of our community.

Thanks to the Strong Kids+ Annual Support Campaign, financial assistance is available for those with a bona fide financial hardship who live or work in Westfield, Cranford, Garwood, or Mountainside, NJ. 

The majority of financial assistance awards enable children to attend the Y's early learning, school age, and summer camp programs. PLUS, awards also enable families and seniors to benefit from Y wellness opportunities such as aquatics, sports, and fitness classes. PLUS, youth teen, senior, and special needs programs are subsidized to ensure they are available for all.
