CARES Benevolence Fund
YMCA of Orange County establishes fund to support those in need by providing relief during times of unexpected hardships.
Funds are distributed by providing need-specific gift cards. The dollar value of the gift cards can range from $25 to $250 to use at grocery stores, retail stores, gas stations and more depending on the information provided in the request. It is important that we provide care and support with discretion. Both recipients and requesters of funds will not be publicized or recognized and any documentation including the attached flyer is not to be posted publicly within any YMCA facilities.
How it works:
-
YMCA of Orange County employee recognizes a need from from a member or program participant.
-
Employee submits a benevolence fund request form (located on YCONNECT) to Emilio Sosa (Branches) or Chris Becerra (Child & Youth Development).
-
Employee request will then be reviewed and either approved or denied.
-
If the request is approved, the gift card will be purchased and sent to the requester to give to the person in need.
