Give Joy this Holiday Season!

The South Shore YMCA HOPE FOR THE HOLIDAYS adopt-a-wishlist program provides gifts, holiday meals, coats, and clothing — plus engaging Y programs like camp and swim lessons — to thousands of South Shore children each year. Through generous contributions, sponsorship, and support from local businesses, organizations, individuals, and volunteers, we can bring a light of hope during the holidays and all year round to those who need it most.

How you can help

• Donate online – make a cash donation that will be used by our “elves” to purchase gifts from children’s wishlists
• Purchase a Gift from the Giving Tree – our lobby trees have ornaments that represent an item from a child’s wish list. Grab an ornament, purchase the gift listed, and return it unwrapped to the Y.
• Adopt-a-wishlist – choose to “adopt” a full holiday wishlist for one or more children, and check off all their holiday gifts. A great way to gather with friends, family, or colleagues to fulfill the list(s) together!
• Volunteer – complete our Volunteer Request Form to schedule time for you, your family, friends, or colleagues to volunteer! Help us organize gifts, assemble toys, and more.
• Become a Sponsor – your organization can have a banner displayed in our “North Pole” for thousands of Y guests and members to see throughout the holidays.
