Young Mens Christian Association Of Greater Kansas City

Programs that promote healthy living: the y is a leading voice on health and well-being. We bring families closer together, encourage good health and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. In 2024, 79,923 people grew stronger at the y through membership, programs, giving and volunteering. They are overcoming obstacles to achieve a greater personal well-being and greater well-being for the community. This is particularly important as our nation struggles with an obesity crisis and chronic disease, families struggle with work-life balance, and individuals search for personal fulfillment. Our programs are accessible, affordable and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities and income levels. In 2024, we distributed 488,263 pounds of food to 51,593 people and we provided a total of $654,514 in financial assistance to a total of 10,647 people who otherwise would have been unable to participate in life-strengthening programs at the y.
