Tampa Metro Civitans, friends and family, thank you for helping make Christmas brighter for so many! We are the only volunteer organization involved for 35 years, since the very first Neighbor to Neighbor program in 1990

That's WRAP! Thank you all for such an incredible experience! 🎄 ❤️

As we reflect on the holiday season, we are reminded of the incredible generosity that made it so special. Your support of the YMCA Neighbor to Neighbor Christmas Program brought joy, comfort, and hope to 359 local families and 795 children across our community. Because of you, families woke up on Christmas morning to beautifully decorated trees, thoughtfully chosen toys (4,770 distributed), and warm holiday meals provided by Publix, during a season that can be especially challenging!
