Each year, local residents and businesses are invited to join The Community YMCA in making the holidays brighter by providing gifts, toys and books for needy families in Monmouth County.
To support the Y’s holiday giving program, community members are invited to “adopt” a family or child and help provide gifts from their “wish lists.” The families are served through the Y’s Counseling and Social Services, and the Red Bank Family Health and Wellness Center.
The Y serves over 20,000 families in Monmouth County, about 3,000 of whom receive financial assistance for Y programs and services. Hundreds of families will benefit from this program.
