FIND YOUR REASON TO GIVE
At the Gaston County Family YMCA, we are dedicated to transforming lives and strengthening communities. One way we do this is through our Annual Giving Campaign. With your support, we can continue our mission to make a lasting impact in the lives of individuals across all age groups. The campaign provides financial assistance ensuring that ALL people have the opportunity to participate. Many of our programs are 100% supported by our Annual Giving Campaign making them completely free to participants.
