ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS AND ANNUAL CAMPAIGN We strive to keep values-based youth programs affordable to all by subsidizing some of the real costs. We know that some individuals and families struggle to pay the rent, put food on the table and buy clothes for their kids. We are happy to offer need - based financial assistance to enable all families to participate in Y programs. Through the annual campaign, we ensure our programs like My Achievers, Chill & Spill and Summer Meals & Fun are free of charge and open to all. Your support helps youth and families live healthier and happier lives. For more information or to contribute to the Annual Campaign, contact our office at 360 629 9622.
