Metropolitan Ymca Of The Oranges Inc

Healthy living improving the nation's health and well-being: through our communities, we are a leading voice on health and well-being. With a mission centered on balance, our y brings families closer together, encourages good health and fosters connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, youth, adults and families are receiving the support, guidance and resources needed to achieve greater health and well-being for their spirit, mind and body.

Social responsibility giving back and providing support and financial assistance to our neighbors: our y has been listening and responding to our communities' most critical social needs for nearly 140 years. Whether developing skills or emotional well-being through education and training, welcoming and connecting diverse demographic populations through global services, preventing chronic disease and building healthier communities through collaborations with policymakers, our y fosters the care and respect all people need and deserve. Through our y, volunteers, donors, leaders and partners are empowering people and the communities in which they live, to be healthy, confident, connected and secure. Through more than $2.4 million in direct financial assistance and over $1.5 million in community benefit, our y makes accessible the support and opportunities that empower people and communities to learn, grow and thrive. With a focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, our y nurtures the potential of every youth and teen, improves our communities' health and well-being and provides opportunities to give back and support neighbors. During the pandemic-related shut down and remaining months of 2020, the ymca was a key provider of emergency childcare, virtual programming, food assistance, and social support for children, families, and adults in our communities.
