We’ve been through a lot together since the beginning of the pandemic, but our mission to strengthen our community has remained the same.
From distributing meals to after school care to outreach to seniors to life-saving drowning prevention classes, we couldn’t do any of it without your help.
Our hunger relief efforts have grown leaps and bounds in the last year and a half. They will continue as long as there is a need among our neighbors and community members.
Engage along side us to help our community. Together we can make a difference.
Donate! Make an on-line donation to support this vital work so that the Central Connecticut Coast YMCA can help serve those in our community who needs us most. Our goal is to raise at least $2,021 during our November Days of Service. Every dollar counts! Or consider a food donation to support one of several YMCA events.
Volunteer! Get involved and work beside us with other community supporters. We could use your help with our events! Volunteer groups welcome! Our goal is to have 21 volunteers work beside at least 21 Y staff members to help feed 202 new families.
Give Back! Can you give us a little of your time and energy?

We know how important it is for a child to have an enriching place for learning and growth, both in and out of school. And we’re happy to be able to provide that place, allowing your child’s social, emotional, physical and academic journey to continue before and after school. Are also proud to be able to provide you and your family with the services required to remain healthy.
FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
We help kids reach their potential and thrive in a safe, trustworthy setting. We offer a curriculum that aligns with the school day and supports growth in literacy, science, math, science, engineering, and technology (STEM) while infusing the arts, physical activity, and fun. We teach kids confidence, encourage self-expression and enrich social development. Providing our youth with the support, encouragement and positive role models that they need, will not only increase their ability to succeed in school but in life. For families, we offer peace of mind knowing that your child is in a safe and educational program building new relationships and achieving more.
