Donate a Gift Card & Help Families Make The Holiday Season Brighter

The season of giving is upon us. Donate Gift Cards to give to local families so they may buy the perfect holiday gifts for their child(ren).

The YMCA of Greater Monmouth County’s Annual Holiday Support Drive provides gift cards to parents and guardians who otherwise would not be able to fulfill a child’s wishes during the holiday season. We aim to serve over 600 of our participants in greatest need.

Our goal is to provide each participant with $100 in total gift cards to purchase items from their child's/children's holiday wish list(s). This empowers parents and guardians to take an active role in the planning and gift buying process for their loved ones and experience the joy of the season.

Additionally, the YMCA Counseling & Social Services team supports parents and guardians with making online purchases, coordinating transportation to stores, and hosts a "gift wrapping party" where families can wrap their newly purchased gifts and mingle with other families at the Bayshore Family Success Center.
