WITNESS THE POWER OF 2020
We know this year has been difficult, so we're asking many to come together for the good of all. Your $20 can support families and youth across our region. When people come together, there is no stopping the power of their movement! Join us in our 2020 Community Support Campaign and make a donation that will make tomorrow brighter for all in our community.
What is the power of 2020? It is the beauty of community coming together to care for one another, and though the ways in which we come together may look different today, the care and support we extend to all in our community is unwavering. And even though we're not through this challenge yet, we believe in the strength of our community. We believe in the heart of the people of the Northland and their ability to rise above challenges and come together for good.
We are asking for 2,020 people to each give $20, and through their joint effort we'll raise $40,400 in support of families across our region.Your generosity will be laying the groundwork for a brighter tomorrow. You will be there with us, feeding, caring, nurturing, and providing for your community –together ensuring that your Y and the programs you love are here for good and here for all. For those who can give more than $20 it will be greatly appreciated as you will be stepping in for those that cannot donate at this time.
We challenge our community to give generously and be part of something more.

HELP US CONTINUE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY
WITH YOUR HELP THIS CARE WILL CONTINUE
The Duluth Area Family YMCA provides healthy snacks at our afterschool programs and drop-in sites, and participates in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) and the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). With your help, throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, we ramped up our food distribution to ensure that all families in our community had the food and nutrition they needed to stay healthy.
In 2019, we served 8,041 youth throughout the year through our Food Access programs. During the state-mandated Safe at Home order and continuing into this fall, we have distributed over 14,229 meals through our distribution sites, and monthly give out over 1,974 meals at GND, 456 at Harbor Highlands, and 1,932 meals at the YEWC. The need for food access in our community continues to grow and the Y is doing everything it can to meet that need. JOIN US and FEED OUR COMMUNITY
WITH YOUR GIFT WE CAN SEE A BRIGHTER TOMORROW
Through youth development, we will nurture the potential of all youth. We will improve access to programs that respond to the emerging needs of our youth. We will offer support, empowerment, boundaries, expectations, and constructive use of time in order to foster a commitment to learning, positive values, social competencies, and self-confidence for future success. Our out-of-school time enrichment philosophy is to offer safe and engaging programming that complements the school day and creates an enriching environment that fosters positive youth development & academic success. The Duluth YMCA serves over 2,000 youth and their families through these programs. GIVE TODAY SO YOUTH CAN RECEIVE THE CARE THEY NEED FOR FUTURE SUCCESS
ONLY WITH YOUR SUPPORT CAN WE MEET THIS CHALLANGE
