How Charitable Giving Helps
Regardless of the times of the times, good or bad, there are four
things that are critical to our community. They determine our future and the quality of life for each of us and our families.
First, is the character development of our youth. The character of
our children is our destiny. The YMCA helps young people learn and demonstrate respect, responsibility, honesty and caring. Like a forge, every YMCA youth program helps shape youth character through repeated opportunities to do the right thing for the good of family, community and their own well being.
Second, is strengthening of families. Families with strong bonds, a healthy work/life balance and that are engaged in our community are the foundation of society. The YMCA provides a place for developing those strong bonds. Our programs help maintain a healthy balance and volunteer opportunities provide learning through service to others.
Third, is wellness for all. How many times have you heard that if you have your health, you have everything? People of all ages and abilities; physically, financially, socially and spiritually improve their wellness at the YMCA and in programs at our thirty extension sites. Being well is not only personally important for quality of life, but it is economically critical to our business and economic environment.
Last, is removing obstacles to success. A community cannot thrive unless every child has access to character development, every family has the tools to become stronger and each of us can participate in activities that improve our health. The YMCA turns no one away due to the inability to pay. We can only do this with your support and the support of others.
The Two Rivers YMCA has been a part of the Quad Cities since 1885. We're a family-oriented organization committed to putting Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
By supporting the Two Rivers YMCA, your gift helps to remove the obstacles and help build strong kids, strong families and a strong community. Supporting the Two Rivers YMCA means your gift is helping to make a difference in the lives of children, families, adults and seniors every day.
