The Holiday Gift Shop is our Christmas outreach event for the community on Saturday, December 12th. We partner with the families we serve through our Y Learning and Camp Excel Programs to make a mutual investment in the gift giving process. Involving parents and guardians in the celebration of finding that perfect gift for their son or daughter honors families and strengthens community relationships. Families come to our event and shop for new toys and clothing. We need volunteers to make this event successful.
