PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL

Join us in supporting our community

At the YMCA your gift does more than pay the bills. When you donate to the Williams YMCA of Avery County you are providing opportunities to your friends, family, and neighbors to make new friends, to improve their health, to learn a new skill, and to support all of the programs and services that provide aid for our community! As a mission-driven organization, we exist to promote a healthy mind, body, and spirit for all! That means that no one is turned away due to financial needs. Through our year-round fundraising efforts and the Y Access program we provide financial assistance so everyone can join the fun. Your gift helps us give back to the community!

Capital Campaigns 

  • Mitchell County YMCA Building  – Help us with the renovation of the Pine Bridge building in Downtown Spruce Pine to bring the YMCA back to Mitchell County. This building will include a wellness and aquatics center, two group exercise rooms, and a drop-in-childcare area.
  • Arthur Family Youth Center Building – To provide more opportunities for our youth beyond 5th grade, the YMCA is constructing a new building next to the playground in Avery County. We look forward to hosting Avery Middle and High School programs throughout the school year and K-5 Summer camps in this new building.
  • Avery County Aquatics Center Updates – After 18 years, the Aquatics Center in Avery County is due for a few upgrades. In 2025, the YMCA will be redoing the pool floor, pool deck, and looking at other upgrades that will help improve the health and safety of our staff, members, and guests.
