Support the YMCA at Virginia Tech: Fighting Food Insecurity and Building Future Leaders

For 150 years, the YMCA at Virginia Tech has been a cornerstone of service, community, and leadership in the New River Valley. Today, we continue that legacy by addressing urgent needs in rural Appalachia—combating food insecurity in at-risk children and cultivating student leaders who will shape a better tomorrow.

Our outreach programs are administered by committed YMCA staff and powered by passionate College students and volunteers. Together, we bring nourishment, connection, and hope to the communities we serve—building bridges between campus and community that endure for generations.

Your support helps us:

• Provide food and essential resources to children in underserved areas

• Mentor and train student leaders dedicated to service and social change

• Strengthen rural communities through consistent, hands-on engagement

This is more than a donation—it's an investment in the next 150 years of impact.
