Week of Giving
TOGETHER WE CHANGE LIVES
Our Week of Giving campaign is 7 days devoted to philanthropy, advancing our mission and making an impact on children and families in our communities.
Each year our YMCA raises awareness and critical funds in our branches through a Week of Giving campaign. This year’s campaign runs June 6 – 12.
All donations will help us advance our mission and impact even more people in our communities.
The positive impact of the YMCA is needed now more than ever. With your help, we can ensure that everyone, regardless of age, ability, income or background, has what they need to learn, grow and thrive with the Y’s support.
Your support, of any area of the YMCA that is meaningful to you, helps ensure that everyone has the opportunity to experience the Y—making our community stronger.
DID YOU KNOW?
- Charitable giving is vital to the success of our YMCA. Revenue we receive from our daily operations cannot fully fund the incredible needs of those in our community who count on us every day. That’s why YMCA staff and volunteers dedicate time each year to raising awareness, building relationships, and asking for philanthropic support to our annual Reach Out Campaign.
- Reach Out is our Y’s annual campaign that ensures we continue to address diverse, emerging, and critical human needs across the 15 communities we serve.
- In 2021, our YMCA provided $2.1 million in confidential scholarships and program subsidies to our neighbors in need to experience our YMCA programs and services regardless of ability to pay.
- More than 1,425 of our area youth benefit from a day camp experience at our Y branches every day in the summer …creating memories & friendships that will last a lifetime and experiencing their Best Summer Ever. 23% of our campers receive confidential scholarship assistance made possible by the support of friends and donors like you.
It’s the generosity of people like you that helps ensure a Y experience is available to all. With help from the Hockomock Area YMCA’s Annual Reach Out Campaign, Lily was able to enjoy and thrive at summer camp.

Lily’s grandmother Terry shares: The Y has provided so many opportunities that I couldn’t possibly have offered my granddaughter. Lily could not be in a better, safer, more nurturing place than at the Hockomock Y.
