Community
The YMCA believes we all need a place to belong -- a place where we genuinely care about one another, share in decisions, treat each other with respect and pull together for a common cause. Ys bring together people from different walks of life in an environment where all can feel comfortable. They are natural incubators for ideas to help solve community problems. They get things done by working with other neighborhood groups and organizations.
Homeless Outreach

We are assisting them by providing clothing, food and toiletry items while developing a relationship with them. There are approximately 8,000 homeless in Baton Rouge.

These items can be dropped off during business hours at any of the areas seven locations of the YMCA.
