Park South Family YMCA - Capital Campaign

The YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas serves more than 200,000 people annually, regardless of age, income, or background. Anchored in 19 North Texas communities, the Dallas Y has long-standing relationships and physical presence that delivers lasting personal and social change, with three areas of focus: Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility.

As needs continue to evolve, the YMCA Board of Directors implemented a strategic multi-year plan for growth and expansion that would allow the organization to broaden its impact, deepen its connection among existing communities, and generate equitable opportunities across North Texas, including South Dallas.

Park South is the flagship location where most of the Y’s food distribution takes place. In the last three years alone, we’ve been able to donate more than 142,000 meals and deliver over 340 tons of produce to families who needed it most. Park South is also where YMCA’s Southeast Sharks competitive swim team practices, the pool is one of the few indoor pools in South Dallas. In addition, the branch provides early childhood education where 97% of families are using an enrollment discount and 61% are on financial assistance. Our members and communities deeply rely on us, that’s why it’s paramount that we build a better Y to better serve our South Dallas residents.

With the help of the J. E. and L. E. Mabee Foundation challenge grant and our fellow North Texans, we hope you will join us in supporting a brand new Park South Family YMCA that will create a bright future for generations. Gifts made now through October 1, 2023, will be matched by the J. E. and L. E. Mabee Foundation.
