The Malden YMCA knows how challenging the holidays can be for families. We would like to extend an opportunity to families to receive a “helping hand.” The YMCA, it’s members, and it’s community will help by donating gifts for children of all ages from the SACC program and Preschool program. We hope we can make the holiday season a little brighter!

The Giving Tree with the requested gifts from the families in need will go up in the front lobby after Thanksgiving. Simply take a numbered decoration off of the tree and return the corresponding gift along with the numbered decoration to the front desk.
