YWCA Holiday Hearts Program to Benefit Needy Children and Families

Helping underserved and low-income children have joyful holidays

During the holiday season, YWCA Bucks County’s Holiday Hearts program reaches out to the many needy families it serves during the year and buys necessities and small gifts for the children.  This year, the YWCA will be providing gifts to more than 300 underserved and at-risk children in Bucks County who participate in the YWCA’s after-school educational enrichment programs.  These programs include YWCA Homework Zones, YWCA Kids’ Korner, YWCA Saturday Camp and YW Teen Groups and provide young people with homework assistance, life skills training and prevention education.
