Give Hope to Neighbors in Need

On average each night, the YMCA Van Buren Center shelters 250 women, including 30 expectant mothers, 300 men and 227 children. Our community faces an urgent need for emergency shelter, and with the rising challenges of affordable housing and inflation, Central Ohio families are increasingly vulnerable. Support to Give Hope empowers adults in shelter to secure stable housing, seek job training and reconnect with family.

The YMCA of Central Ohio is dedicated to driving social change beyond community centers. We rely on the collaboration and support of partners and donors to transform lives. Join us in minimizing homelessness and empowering vulnerable individuals to reach their full potential by donating today.
