Dear New Member:
Welcome! Thank you for becoming a member of the Wabash County YMCA. We are happy to have you as
part of our family!
Founded in 1940 as Wabash Community Service, our organization has been helping improve the quality of

Today, the Y continues its commitment to provide life-changing programs and services that are relevant to
our community. We strive to deliver on that commitment every day with programs, membership experiences,
financial assistance, collaborations, and outreach initiatives that make the Wabash County YMCA an
indispensable part of life for kids, families, and adults throughout the area.
I hope that you will take advantage of all of the opportunities your membership provides. The Y is unique.
It’s more than a place to go - it’s a community organization that brings people from all walks of life
together to connect, makes lasting family memories, and improves the health and strength of all in our

Sincerely,

Support the YMCA
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE !
Annual Support
The Wabash County YMCA is a non-profit, charitable organization. There are many good reasons to provide annual
support for the Wabash County YMCA. We have a unique approach to our work with the community that always
connects back to our mission. As a non-profit organization, your financial support helps to provide memberships and
program participation for those in need. Each year, we provide tens of thousands of dollars in financial assistance to
people in our community. On a yearly basis we seek our members’ assistance in an Annual Support Campaign. Every
dollar that you donate stays right here in our county to benefit your friends and neighbors. Please consider donating
to help support our Christian mission. Donations to enhance and continue programs are welcomed and tax-deductible
to the full extent of the law.
Financial Assistance - Everyone belongs at the Y, regardless of their ability to pay. We are committed to ensuring
every community member has access to our Y. Because of the Financial Assistance Program, a family in need
gains peace of mind knowing that their child is safe under our care, and teens interact with and receive support
from caring mentors, and individuals have a place to grow and thrive together.
Our Promise - No one is turned away from the YMCA due to an inability to pay. Your gift provides scholarships to 1
of 3 members at the Wabash County YMCA! We could not do this without the generous support of our donors and
sponsors!
Planned Giving
Making a planned gift to the YMCA offers a flexible and simple way to combine philanthropy with financial planning.
Planned gifts to the Y are about the future; your future and the future of children and families in our community. To
meet your specific needs, a variety of gift options are available. While each planned gift is different, these gifts can
offer significant financial or tax benefits while ensuring that future generations will benefit from the life-changing
programs of the Wabash County YMCA. Please ask to speak with our VP of Mission Advancement or CEO if you have
any questions.
Volunteer
Volunteers are the backbone of our organization. Without volunteers we could not provide our community with the
extensive services and programs we currently offer. Our YMCA offers year-round volunteer opportunities for
members and non-members from the community and surrounding areas to give back and help build a better
community.
You CAN make a difference. Apply to become a volunteer today. Applications are available at our front desk.
