With the Houston Texans season in full swing, our hometown team is also helping shape Houston's next generation of playmakers.

Thank you to the Houston Texans Foundation for investing in the YMCA Houston Texans Flag Football Program, along with Texas Children's Hospital. Because of them, more kids can engage with youth sports, which helps to instill teamwork, resilience, and confidence that carry into the classroom and beyond. Access matters, and this support helps more Houston kids get on the field regardless of cost.

Support is closer than you think. ๐Ÿ’œ

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and at YMCA Community Impact Services, this work happens year-round.

Last year our Victim Assistance and Advocacy Legal Services team supported 110 individuals who experienced domestic violence, helping them navigate the path toward safety.

You can help too โ€” learn the signs, donate, volunteer, or build a partnership.

Baseball playoffs are here. Football is in full swing. Basketball is right around the corner.

For many Houston kids, these sports are little more than highlights on their phones because of the rising costs of youth sports, which make it difficult for working families to fit into their budgets.

At the YMCA, we get kids off the sidelines and into the games, as our youth sports programs promote teamwork, resilience, and confidence that transcend the game. Every young person deserves an opportunity to play, and you can help.

Your gift provides financial assistance that helps more kids across Greater Houston get in the game:

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
