FAMILY TO FAMILY HOLIDAY PROGRAM

Help spread the Joy this holiday season. Give or Receive!

Each year, families, businesses and groups of friends become holiday elves for families in need in the Greater Newburyport community. These families are our neighbors and friends. Some have children in the public schools or YWCA child care programs, some live in affordable housing, some are struggling to make ends meet.

At NYS and the YWCA, we feel strongly that everyone should have a joyous holiday season. We need your help to make that happen. We are looking for elves that will fulfill the wishes of a family or will help us make holiday wishes come true in other ways.

We have been running this heartwarming, successful program for over 10 years! Our team works really hard to make this an organized, fun and joyous experience for our volunteer elves. We hope that we can continue to work our magic this year as you make the decision to spread joy.
