Dear Members & Staff,

We are excited to announce the opening of our Community Care Closet which is a compassionate, no-questions-asked initiative designed to support individuals and families in need by providing essential toiletry items. Our goal is to ensure that everyone in our community has access to basic hygiene products, regardless of their circumstances.

The Care Closet is located in the lobby next to the kitchen and will be open Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00pm, allowing individuals to pick up two items per week—no questions asked. This initiative reflects the YMCA’s commitment to fostering community well-being and ensuring that everyone has access to basic necessities.

If you are looking to support this initiative we have a few different ways you can do so!

  • Make a monetary donation following the QR code at the bottom of this message
  • Donate products to the bin located in the lobby
  • Contact Steve at skrankota@ymcabaycity.org to make any other arrangements
