Do you want to get into the holiday spirit and help our neighbors?
Our Holiday Gift Drive for children in our community-supported programs runs through the middle of December. You can donate toys, clothing and educational items for newborn children through age 18. As toys and items are collected, we will transform our YMCA spaces into Holiday Gift Shops.
At Holiday Gift Shops, parents from our YMCA community-supported programs can personally select new toys, books, clothes and other items for their children. This approach lets parents choose the gifts for their child and as they are shopping with reduced prices, allows them to purchase items they may otherwise not be able to afford.
Area YMCAs are participating and gift guides are posted. We hope to serve more than 300 families. We also need volunteers to help organize the shops or wrap presents.
