About Merrimack Valley YMCA Annual Campaign 2026

A donation to the Merrimack Valley YMCA is more than just a donation - it's an investment in our community's children, families, and future. ​

For 145 years, the Y has been a supportive place for everyone - from children discovering confidence and making lifelong friends through our summer camps, teens pursuing their passions through our leadership and afterschool programs, to a child learning the lifesaving skill of swimming. At every stage, the Y creates opportunities for growth and connection. And with your support, it always will.

At the Y, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. We never turn away someone who needs a membership, campership, or program assistance. With help from generous donors, we provide scholarships and financial aid so every child and family have access to resources they need to reach their full potential.

Together, we can build brighter futures and stronger communities for all.

Why Participate?

Your gift to the Y’s Annual Campaign strengthens the Merrimack Valley by helping every child, teen, and family reach their full potential. 

With the support from our dedicated donors, volunteers, and staff, it is possible for us to deliver life-changing programs that promote healthy living, youth development, and social responsibility across every age.

Every gift helps the Y strengthen our community. Last year alone, we were able to provide:

  • Over 2,900 youth were taught lifesaving swim skills and water safety across our 4 pools — giving every child the confidence to stay safe in and around water

  • Over 2,600 individuals of all ages participated in health and wellness programs designed to build strength, resilience, and well-being

  • Over 400 teens were served through Y mentoring, leadership development, and academic support programs that prepare them for the future

  • Over 675 children were provided child care each day, giving working families peace of mind and children the foundation for lifelong learning

  • 14,790 households were reached and 355,000 pounds of food were distributed through our food pantries and mobile markets that provide nourishment to those facing food insecurity

Your Gift Makes An Impact


"I can't thank the Y enough for what they have done for my family. I'm a single parent and finances are tough. With assistance, provided by funds raised in the annual campaign, all of my kids have learned how to swim in Y swim lessons. Without this, my kids would continue to fear being near the water. Staff at the Y have made learning how to swim fun. Although, in reality, it is a life lesson we all need." - Isabel 

Thank you for your support of the Merrimack Valley YMCA and our communities.
