Give Local Bay is a 24-hour online giving campaign to raise funds for favorite local charities. It unites our community in supporting our local nonprofits, agencies, and parks in Bay and Arenac counties. Your donations help these nonprofits build their endowment funds at Bay Area Community Foundation so that they are able to provide for many generations to come. Donate on May 7 and your gift will be increased by a match pool and incentive prizes thanks to our community sponsors! The more you help each nonprofit raise, the more match money they receive. We are better together!

Seeing our child care programs in action, families enjoying the facility, or volunteers and staff distributing meals, you see the impact that the Dow Bay Area Family YMCA has on the community. In a time when division challenges the world and our neighborhoods, leaving people feeling divided, isolated and alone, it is more important than ever to have places like our YMCA to bring people together. Our fundraising efforts ensure that everyone has the opportunity to benefit from YMCA services, regardless of their ability to pay. Last year 337 families came to our YMCA thanks to the donations received from people like you.
