IDAHO FALLS COMMUNITY

WHEN YOU INVEST IN THE YMCA:

YOU ARE HELPING THOSE WHO REALLY NEED IT…

• HUNGRY KIDS IN OUR COMMUNITY – THE Y PROVIDES MORE THAN 8,500 WARM AND NUTRITIOUS MEALS TO KIDS DURING THE SUMMER -- KIDS THAT RECEIVE THEIR BREAKFAST AND LUNCH FREE DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR.

• KIDS NEEDING A WELCOMING AND NURTURING PLACE THAT IS SAFE AND LOVING WHERE CONSISTENT VALUES, PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING ARE THE NORM

  CONSIDER THAT FOR MANY CHILDREN, THE Y IS THE ONE CONSISTENT PLACE IN THEIR LIVES. MANY ARE FOSTER KIDS WHO DO NOT KNOW IF THEY WILL HAVE THE SAME “PARENTS” TOMORROW THAT THEY HAVE TODAY. THESE KIDS COUNT ON THE Y FOR SUPPORT – THEY NEED THE LOVE THEY RECEIVE HERE.

• THOSE WHO STRUGGLE WITH MAKING HEALTHY CHOICES. THE Y’S PROVEN PROGRAMS AND DEDICATED PROFESSIONALS CAN HELP CHILDREN, ADULTS AND FAMILIES REACH THE HEALTH GOALS THEY DREAM OF.

Y PROGRAMS CHANGE LIVES; IT IS THAT SIMPLE. THE Y IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE DEDICATED TO BUILDING HEALTHY, CONFIDENT, CONNECTED AND SECURE CHILDREN, ADULTS, FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES.

• THE Y SERVES THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY – ALL COLORS—ALL RELIGIONS—ALL INCOMES—ALL INCLUSIVE! ONE CHILD AT A TIME, ONE FAMILY AT A TIME — OUR FOCUS IS STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITY’S FOUNDATION.

JOIN US—WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
