GIVE THE GIFT OF JOY!
The YMCA of the Jersey Shore Annual Holiday Support Drive is here and you can help bring joy to children and families in our community this season.
Each year, we provide complimentary gifts to parents and guardians who may not otherwise be able to fulfill their child’s holiday wishes. This special effort benefits children and their siblings enrolled in services through Y Counseling & Social Services.
How You Can Help:
- Pick a child’s wish list tag from our “Thanks for Giving” trees at YMCA locations.
- Purchase the items on their list (each child has 2 wants and 1 need, up to $50 each / $150 total).
- Drop off unwrapped gifts with the tag by December 8, 2025 at:
• Matawan CSS
• Leonardo Bayshore Family Success Center
• Red Bank, Freehold, or Old Bridge Family YMCA locations
Prefer online shopping? Visit ymcanj.org/YHD2025 to purchase directly from our Amazon Wish List and ship directly to our Eatontown CSS office. Gifts should arrive by December 8, 2025.
Businesses Can Join Too!
- Host a Giving Tree or organize a Gift Drive with your team. We’ll even drop off a small “Thanks for Giving” tree to your office.
- All donations are tax deductible.
- Gifts are collected through December 8, 2025, giving us time to distribute them to families before the holidays.
Together, we can make this holiday season brighter, one child at a time.
