Dear Friends,
The YMCA of the Sandhills is a charitable nonprofit organization that strengthens community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. We have served the children, families, seniors and veterans of the Cumberland and Harnett County region for over 95 years, and are soon to add Moore County to our service area!
Our goal is to not turn anyone away because they are unable to pay for our programs or services. This is why the YMCA Annual Campaign exists – to help fund community programs and scholarships. We invite you to watch a video about what you may already know about our mission and what makes our YMCA community so special.
Take a look also at our 2025 Community Impact to date:
1,000 Nearly 1,000 children and teens cared for in safe, supportive programs, providing them with fun, enriching,
growth-focused activities and providing parents with peace of mind while they work
1,250 Seniors/older adults socially connected and physically active, supporting their mental and physical well-being.
7,000 Members of all ages served by our Fayetteville and Cameron Ys.
10,000 Swim classes provided to keep thousands of kids and adults safe in and around the water.
36,200 Nourishing meals distributed to neighbors in need this summer through the Summer Food Distribution
Program so they could learn, grow, work and succeed
We’re proud to meet our community’s unique needs and provide kids, teens, families, adults and senior a place to belong, a place to make friends and a place to achieve their goals whether that’s learning a new skill, building confidence or improving their health.
Whether you are considering a charitable gift, planning your estate or establishing a charitable trust, we hope you will consider the YMCA of the Sandhills. Your generosity will make a difference in the lives of children, families and our community.
