FACILITY/PROPERTY UPDATE – 06/17/26

The parking lot expansion on both the north and south sides of the facility is now complete, and our additional entrance is open. Work is currently underway on the new walking trail and football/soccer fields. Construction began in mid-May, and we anticipate the project will be completed within the next 3–4 months. We would like to thank CL Richardson, the project’s contractor, for their outstanding work and partnership throughout this process.

None of this would be possible without the unwavering support of our incredible community. As a nonprofit organization, we have raised nearly $3 million through the generosity of individuals, businesses, and grant funding. This YMCA was built by our community, for our community, and we could not be more proud of what we have accomplished together.

To finance the $4.8 million construction of this facility, we secured a $2 million loan. Thanks to the continued support of our members, donors, and community partners, we have already repaid $1.2 million of that balance.

As we continue to enhance our facility and expand opportunities for youth, families, and individuals throughout our community, our goal is to fully retire the remaining loan. If you would like to support the YMCA through a donation, please contact Kip Batye at kbatye@jcymca.org or call (573) 657-9622 ext. 707.

Thank you for investing in the future of our YMCA and helping us build a stronger, healthier community for generations to come.
