Bring Cheer To Boys and Girls At The YMCA
YMCA Collects Books and Toys For Families This Holiday Season
Each year, the Merrimack Valley YMCA staff and community partners work together to collect donations of toys, clothing and books to distribute to families throughout the Merrimack Valley. Without this gift drive, many of our community’s children would not receive presents this holiday season. Bring a smile to a child’s face, and spread holiday cheer to children and families by joining our gift drive in one the following ways:
Donate A Gift: Call the YMCA today to fulfill a specific child’s wish list or donate a toy, book or clothing item to be distributed to a child this holiday season. Suggested gifts include books, board games, building sets, sporting equipment, arts and crafts kits, hats, mittens and gloves.
Make A Monetary Donation: No time to shop? Our holiday elves will be happy to do the shopping!
