YWCA Giving Tree 2026
Help make the holidays brighter for YWCA families.
Each holiday season, our community comes together to support YWCA families by helping provide gifts and essential items from their holiday wish lists.
*Formerly known as Angel Tree.
How Giving Tree Works
Participating YWCA families share holiday wish lists for their households. Community members, businesses and organizations can sign up to support a family and help make those wishes possible.

Absolutely! Businesses, organizations, classrooms, faith communities, clubs and other groups are encouraged to participate in the YW Giving Tree. Your group can come together to support one family, or depending on your group’s size and budget, you may choose to support multiple families. Divide up items from a family’s wish list, shop together, or collect contributions and purchase the gifts as a group.
