What does 50 years of service to the community look like?

At the Y, it has meant generations of families finding their way through health and wellness opportunities. Countless friendships fostered. Individuals finding strength in numbers. Children learning and growing. Affordable childcare, nourishing meals and friendly check-ins. Whatever the need, the Ocean County YMCA has been there through it all. And now the Toms River nonprofit needs your help.

To help us kick start this effort, I am pleased to announce that the Grunin Foundation has started a $50,000 in Celebration of 50 Years Matching Challenge Grant! The foundation will match every new donation to the YMCA dollar for dollar through the end of the year up to $50,000.

At this most critical time, we need all past and present members of our Y family to come together and support the Ocean County YMCA. With your help, our YMCA will provide the next generation with a welcoming, safe place where our doors are open to all.
