Giving Tree

This year the South Sound YMCA will be participating in our much anticipated Giving Tree and we invite YOU to help make this a cheerful holiday season for families in our community.

We will erect our giving tree, in all its bright glory, in the lobby at the Briggs YMCA and the Shelton Family YMCA starting November 29^th. We will have tags available for members and guests to grab and take home that will guide your shopping towards items that are much needed in our community.

Wish lists have been created on Amazon, Walmart and Target web pages. These wish lists are titled YMCA giving tree and you will be able to scroll through these lists, find the gifts that you would like to purchase and donate, and opt to have the package mailed directly to the Family Support Center located downtown Olympia. Those gifts will then be distributed directly to families and community members. You can do all of this from the safety and comfort of your own home and know deep in your heart that you, too, have made a difference for a family this year.

If you want to help make a difference in our community today, here are some of the ways you can help spread kindness and joy.
