Be an Angel for a Child in Need
Each year, the Gateway Region YMCA hosts a holiday drive that collects donations from November to early December.
It is through the generosity of those who contribute to the annual Angel Tree Gift Drive that allows the Y to meet the needs of the youth and families throughout the St. Louis and Southwest Illinois regions during the holiday season.
Find out how you can get involved below!
How You Can Participate
🏷️ Snag a Tag
On your next visit to the Y, take an angel gift tag from the Angel Tree display and sign the tag out at the Welcome Center.
If you are not planning on visiting the Y but still want to participate, call your local YMCA site to sign out a gift tag over the phone!
