2025-2026 Annual Report highlights community well-being impact across youth development, wellness, family support, mental health, food security and social belonging

SAN FRANCISCO, October 21, 2026--The YMCA of Greater San Francisco today released its 2025-2026 Annual Report, detailing more than $120 million in resources directed toward programs and partnerships that help Bay Area residents of all ages live healthier, more connected lives. Serving more than 130,000 people annually across 131 program sites in San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin counties, the Y advances community well-being by creating opportunities for connection and belonging.

"Community well-being begins with connection, belonging and access to opportunity," said Jamie Bruning-Miles, president and CEO of the YMCA of Greater San Francisco. "Whether we're helping families navigate challenges, supporting older adults, connecting young people with mentors, or making health and wellness more accessible, our work is rooted in a simple belief: we are not well unless we are all well."

Community impact in fiscal year 2025-2026 included:

  • $9.1 million in membership and health subsidies, including $4 million in direct financial assistance, with 11,088 people receiving support

  • 5.9 million pounds of fresh groceries distributed through partnerships addressing food insecurity

  • 10,000 youth served daily, making the Y the largest nonprofit youth-serving organization in San Francisco

  • $425,000 in youth-led grants through the Youth Empowerment Fund and youth councils

  • 4,457 children in youth aquatics and water safety programs

The report highlights Community as Medicine, a 12-week, evidence-based program that improves health based on social connection. It discusses the YMCA's rapid response to a teacher's strike in San Francisco that resulted in full-day emergency care centers, giving 671 children a safe place to learn and play while supporting working parents.

The report also features personal stories from Y community members who credit the Y with providing support and services central to their well-being.

It details progress on ReImagine Peninsula, the Y's first intentionally designed community well-being center reflecting a growing demand for spaces that support mental wellness, social belonging and intergenerational engagement. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2027 at the Peninsula Family YMCA.

The full 2025-2026 Annual Report, Together: Building Healthier Communities, is available at ymcasf.org/annual-report.
