Armed Services YMCA

For more than 145 years, the Armed Services YMCA (ASYMCA) has supported service members and their families. ASYMCA has provided critical programs such as childcare, hospital assistance, spouse support services, food services, computer training classes, health and wellness services, and holiday meals, among many others.

ASYMCA has received an A- rating from the American Institute of Philanthropy and a four-star rating from Charity Navigator for two consecutive years. Receiving four out of a possible four stars indicates that ASYMCA excels, as compared to other charities in America, in allocating and growing finances in the most fiscally responsible way possible.

In 2008 alone, nearly 11,000 individuals nationwide volunteered their time to the ASYMCA to serve approximately 400,000 military family members.

ASYMCA, an affiliate of the YMCA of the USA, is headquartered in Alexandria, Va.
