YMCA of Pulaski County

The YMCA of Pulaski County has been serving the community for nearly 75 years!  Over the years, just like Pulaski, we've seen highs and lows, victories and losses, success and defeat.  The YMCA is a community asset. We provide childcare in conjunction with Early Headstart, and have recently opened two more childcare classrooms to meet community demand.   

The YMCA is also a place for wellness, with a newly refurbished cardio room and three unique spaces for aerobics, yoga, and spin. In the past we have hosted a Back-to-School Bash with free school supplies, the Highland Games, push/pull competitions, swimming lessons for all of the county’s second graders, lifeguard training, and a place for our school and YMCA swim teams to practice.  

The YMCA of Pulaski County is a place where the community gathers. Seniors, youth, families, and individuals all take advantage of our programs and facilities, which is why we want to be here for at least another 75 years.

But we need help to do that because membership fees alone do not cover all the costs of operation and facility maintenance.   We need to raise $100,000 this year through a combination of grants, monthly pledges, and large gifts. Providing quality programming for the community is our purpose, but we also need to pay our monthly bills.

Our goal this June is to raise $8,000. With $8,000 we can:

• Provide for scholarships for two children to attend our before and after care at the Y for a full year, thus allowing parents who do not qualify for assistance to work.
• Provide funding to our “Bridging the Gap” program that allows those who cannot otherwise become Y members to share the great programs and facilities that are such a blessing to hundreds of community members.
• Provide six months of chemicals and supplies for our pool for the coming year. Our pool, the only indoor pool in Pulaski County, is used by citizens of all ages.
• Fund some much needed electrical and plumbing upgrades to modernize our facility and make us more energy efficient.

 Our goal remains to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy mind, body, and spirit for all.  Meeting our fundraising goals, allows us to do just that, ensuring we have financial assistance that will bridge the gap for anyone interested in becoming part of our YMCA family.

Thank you for supporting youth, families and health in Pulaski County by donating to our YMCA.

For a better us.
