Welcome to the 2024 YMCA Giving Tree!

Every year, through the YMCA Giving Tree, community members - young and old - have the opportunity to bring joy, spread light, and make holiday wishes come true to those in need in the Fargo/Moorhead/West Fargo community. Read below to learn more about the Y's giving efforts this holiday season and find an opportunity that fits with you and your family.

We need you to help distribute gifts that will bring joy to more than 1,600 children in our community. It's a great way to volunteer and it's an experience that's sure to bring you joy! Multiple shifts are available morning, noon, and night – no experience required!
