As the new Healthy Living Coordinator at the Baierl Family YMCA, I believe everyone deserves the chance to live a healthier life — no matter their income or status. The Critical Needs Fund helps cover the cost of memberships, gym access, and classes for those who can’t afford them. I see firsthand how life-changing this support can be. If you believe health should be accessible to all, please consider donating. Every dollar helps someone in our community get the support they need to live happy, healthy lives. Thank you for your support! With gratitude, Josie

The YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh works side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. We know that lasting personal and social change comes about when we all work together. That's why, at the Y, strengthening the community is our cause.
