Y-Assist Financial Assistance Program

The YMCA believes that the Y is for everyone — which is why they offer sliding scale fees designed to fit various financial situations through the ASSIST program. You can apply for financial assistance for Y facility memberships, child care, youth sports and other programs. Membership pricing may be less dependent on household size.


The Y can provide Y Assist thanks to the generosity of donors to our Annual Campaign.


To begin, download the application and bring it to the Framingham Branch.

Daniel's Table
Daniel's Table is a resource Family Support Coordinators lean onto to help our families. Daniel’s Table food relief programs are offered to Framingham Residents who have children 18 years of age or under and persons over 60 years of age.  Daniel’s Table is an interim free food program that provides groceries for people with short term needs due to sudden job loss, illness, death or other challenging time. We commit to you for 8 visits. As the client, you get to decide how you use your 8 visits, whether it’s over an 8 week period or spread out as needed. After 8 visits, if additional help is needed, you can contact a representative of Daniel’s Table to discuss your situation.
