Together, We Rebuild: Support the Palisades-Malibu YMCA and Our Community in Need

For over 60 years The Palisades-Malibu YMCA has been more than just a building; it was a place where our Palisades community came together. The personality of the YMCA fit the “small town” feel of Pacific Palisades itself; people and families connected by our Y programs became better friends and neighbors, creating a social bond that has lasted for decades. From popular youth and teen development programming to specialized classes and activities for seniors, the Y provides meaningful service to all generations.

With loss comes impactful opportunities to bring hope and reassurance during these difficult times. The Palisades-Malibu YMCA has always been a proud center for community well-being; that spirit is not lost! We continue to stand in service to the Palisades community and our neighbors from Brentwood to Malibu and Topanga.

In that spirit, we ask for your caring support as we continue to provide crucial resources and services our community so desperately needs as we undertake our own facility rebuilding and recovery efforts. With your help, we are meeting the urgent needs of displaced families from the Alphabet Streets to the Highlands to the Huntington Palisades neighborhood by providing the following:

- Free day passes for displaced residents.
- Shelter, showers, and basic amenities to those in need.
- Childcare services free of cost for first responders and displaced families (ages 5+).
- Expanded hours of operation to meet the growing needs of our community.
- Mental health services and guidance to essential additional resources for those experiencing trauma.
- Distributions of emergency supplies to aid recovery efforts.

Your donation will help us provide all of these critical services and will allow us to expand our reach as recovery efforts progress.

This is a moment that calls for both compassion and action. Your meaningful generosity will help us provide essential support, bolster our shared recovery efforts, and bring hope to those impacted by the devastating wildfires.

Together, we’ll help our neighbors heal, rebuild, and grow stronger.

Donate now, we’re in this together.
