Its mission states that it is a nonprofit organization serving almost 200,000 people annually through programs, outreach, and events throughout Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Palo Pinto, and Rockwall counties.

One parent, Mayela, shared that during a divorce and transition to one income, the YMCA provided a scholarship for her son to play baseball. Another participant, Shirley, from the Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring Program, reported that staff support helped her identify that her blood pressure was in the danger zone and led to a change in her medication.
