Your Impact Starts Here.

For more than 120 years, the Ridgewood YMCA has stood strong on the same four pillars that defined our beginning in 1902—Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility. These values have carried us through every era and every challenge, grounding us in a simple promise: 

When our community needs support, the Y will be here. Always.

Today, that promise matters more than ever. Families face uncertainty. Neighbors face hardship. People of all ages seek connection, stability, and belonging. When gaps appear, the Ridgewood Y steps forward with compassion and action. And your generosity makes this possible:

  • Access and opportunity for children through swim lessons, camp scholarships, and youth programs
  • Food security for 175+ families through food distribution and pantry access each week
  • Grief and emotional support for children navigating loss or major life changes
  • Wellness programs for older adults, those with chronic disease, and caregivers
  • Safe spaces and social connections for teens, parents, and seniors
  • Financial assistance so that cost is never a barrier for someone seeking health, hope, or community

Every day, these programs change lives. Every day, they remind us that the strength of a community is measured by how we care for its most vulnerable members.

When you give to the Ridgewood YMCA, you are not just donating—you are investing in a kinder, healthier, more connected community. You are ensuring that no one stands alone. And you are helping us carry our pillars into the next generation with the same purpose and integrity that began in 1902.

This is Y. Join us in supporting the Ridgewood YMCA’s Annual Appeal. We can help because you do!
