Supporting the Work of the Y

The Muscatine Community YMCA is a membership organization committed to serving all children and families through our programs and services.  Because of this commitment, we offer subsidized memberships and subsidized class fees to income-eligible children, families and individuals.  No child or family is turned away because of their inability to pay.

Funds to support these memberships are raised each year through our Muscatine Community YMCA Annual Campaign.  The funds raised by this campaign are applied to Membership Assistance as well as several other programs we offer including Big Brothers Big Sisters, Family Program Services, Special Olympics, and Character Development which focuses on programs for youth and teens. 

Our Annual Campaign made a real difference in the life of a homeless child and his mother. 

Collin* and his mother came to the MCSA homeless shelter in the summer of 2017. Collin’s mother, new to town and desperate to see him involved in something, contacted our Y. She learned about the middle school programs the Y offered, and that the city bus would help with transportation.

Collin showed up to the Y the first week of summer programming, and he’s still here. Collin connected with staff, program directors, and the Executive Director, too. He started volunteering at the Y. He felt encouraged, challenged to try new things, and he felt supported, even when he was hungry and things at home were rough. Collin said he felt wanted and welcomed so much, that when faced with the choice to leave Muscatine or stay, he chose to stay! We’re grateful that Collin is a part of our YMCA. He makes us smile and reminds us that we’re all here for one another.   That’s what a great community is all about.

It is with the generous contributions we receive from businesses and individuals in our community that we can build strong kids, strong families and strong communities.  If you are interested in helping us in our efforts and contributing to our Annual Campaign or would like more information, please contact Nicole McCleary at [email protected] or Bret Olson at [email protected] or call either at the Y at 563-263-9996.
