How you can help.

Ways you can help even more people in our community through the YMCA.

A trusted community leader and partner, the YMCA of Hamilton | Burlington | Brantford delivers high quality programs and services that respond to emergent needs in our community. Annually, we serve more than127,000 individuals and provide financial assistance to more than 23, 000 individual each year to support participation in YMCA programs.

Since the start of the COVID-19 crisis, we’ve worked to rapidly respond to the challenges facing our communities including launching online health, fitness and children’s activities at no cost to the community through www.ywearehere.ca. We’ve also moved our Employment and Immigrant Service programs to phone or online support through YtoWork.ca

While many of our physical programs are paused at this time, the need to support our communities remains great. We continue to look for meaningful ways to support our community as well as prepare to welcome individuals and families to YMCA branches when we can safely bring our community back together physically again.
