5 in 6 Texas kids who need after school care don't have it, leaving a dangerous gap between the school bell and the end of the workday. Our YMCA after school programs fill that gap with homework help, play, and caring staff who keep kids safe and thriving. Your donation funds financial assistance that keeps this care within reach for working families—give today: ymcahouston.org/give

This year, Hancock Whitney (https://www.facebook.com/HancockWhitney) gave a thoughtful gift that filled our Summer Day Camp with discovery, friendship, and fun—while their support of our Community Impact Services connected families across Greater Houston with vital resources.

For nine years, this generous donor has helped us strengthen our community, and we're so grateful for the difference they continue to make.

Social isolation affects nearly 1 in 4 adults 65+ and is linked by the CDC to a roughly 50% higher risk of dementia and other health concerns. Healthy aging requires connection and the YMCA of Greater Houston is a place to do it.

Through ForeverWell and senior-focused programming at the Y, adults 55 and better find reasons to show up and people to show up for, from group exercise and aquatics to dance classes, bus trips, and volunteer activities.

A gift today helps more older adults stay strong, stay social, and stay part of something: ymcahouston.org/give
