The Armed Services YMCA

The ASYMCA is an Association of the YMCA of the USA, specifically dedicated to serving active duty junior enlisted military service members and their families of all six armed services: Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force and Coast Guard. The oldest military support organization in the U.S., the ASYMCA has been “Strengthening Our Military Family®” since 1861 through its 12 branches and 23 affiliate partners, serving 89 military installations and facilities nationwide.   A number of services are provided for military families, regardless of their duty station. These services include Operation Kid Comfort, which provides children of deployed parents with memory quilts, our Department of Defense Military Outreach Initiative, which provides financial support for service members to access fitness services when not stationed at traditional installations, the Annual Art and Essay Contest, which allows military children to express their emotions through art, and so much more. We rely on support from individuals across the country to ensure these programs are offered at no or low cost. To make a difference today visit https://give.asymca.org/donate.
