Mission and delivering our cause: the ymca mission is to put christian principles into practice that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

What it reported doing in 2025

Social responsibility: giving back and providing support to our neighbors. Across the country, the ymca helps people give back and assist their neighbors by offering opportunities to volunteer, advocate and support programs that strengthen community. The ymca takes on a much broader role as a community leader when it steps outside the role of serving just its members and program participants and takes on projects that bring benefit to the community at large. Examples of such social responsibility come with the ymca's operating the riverside community swimming pool and the feeding of hungry children in our schools through the ymca feed a child program. In 2025 the ymca continued its partnership with the city of findlay for the fourteenth year by managing the riverside city pool so that it remained open to our city's residents. This season over 15,000 swimmers attended the city pool during the summer. During the school year of 2024-2025, the ymca continued to administer the feed a child program. With the financial support of our community, hancock county united way, the hancock county community foundation, Ohio logistics, garner transportation and marathon petroleum co., hundreds of children were provided over 179,000 meals on weekends in poverty-stricken homes. The program serves those children that would otherwise be served by the school free and reduced lunch program during the school week. Collaborative partnerships the ymca works closely with area businesses and corporations as well as other social service providers and government organizations in the delivery of services.
