Building a Healthier Community

Building a Healthier Community and a Brighter Future, Together

As Michigan City continues to grow and plan for the future, collaborative efforts are being made to enhance the overall health and well-being of our community. As the YMCA looks to the future, we recognize the need to serve the greater Michigan City area further by addressing critical needs such as food insecurity, poverty, lack of healthcare, and negative health outcomes. Through partnerships, comprehensive programming, and access to healthy resources, we can transform the future of our community.

The YMCA is engaging in a Feasibility Study to evaluate the current and future needs of our residents, and an analysis of the feasibility of constructing and operating a new YMCA in the Greater Michigan City area. The total cost of the study is $35,000, and $5,000 in additional costs related to the study and facilitation of the results. Through a grant from the Unity Foundation of La Porte County, all donations up to $18,000 will be matched dollar for dollar to fund the study.

To be a community united, we must work together. Your support will help the YMCA better understand the needs of the community and work towards creating a brighter future for all residents in Michigan City.
