We are seeking support to fund a new van for our Childcare department. With 75 children enrolled in our summer program, 35 in our Before-and-After School program, and 15 in our Preschool program, the need for reliable transportation is crucial.

Beginning with the 2025-26 school year, we will be providing transportation for school-aged children, but with only one working van, we are facing significant challenges.

Additionally, safety requirements for transportation have changed, making it crucial to secure a new, safer vehicle. 

Transportation has been a significant hurdle for many families in our community, affecting their ability to get to work and provide consistent care for their children. By securing a new van, we can alleviate this burden and help keep our programs running smoothly.

We are asking for $10,000 to bridge the funding gap for the new van.  We have other grant requests pending, but we need your help to make this a reality. Every contribution counts and will have a lasting impact on the families we serve.

Thank you for your continued support of the Beatrice Mary Family YMCA and the children in our community!
