Before we know it, the holidays will be here - hard to believe! We know the celebrations might look a little different this year, but the needs of our community remain the same. Once again, the Y will be taking part in the Delaware Valley Children’s Charity (DVCC) Holiday Program. So many families find themselves in more challenging situations now with the onset of the pandemic. ... The DVCC has come up with a way for us to help these families without leaving our homes! If you would like to join us, here's how it works: Each child was asked to make three choices for gifts. Visit https://yougivegoods.com/dvcc-holiday2020 Select "Haverford YMCA" to see all of the gift options. You can choose whatever gift(s) on the list you’d like to purchase. Once you complete the purchase, a tax receipt will be emailed to you. The gifts will be sent to the agencies who will then distribute to the families to create a truly magical holiday. Even if giving is out of reach this year, we want to THANK YOU for being a cherished member of our Y and for helping us build a stronger community!
