Season of Giving at the YMCA of Delaware

Small Acts of Kindness. Big Community Impact.

This November, help the YMCA of Delaware spread warmth, kindness and generosity throughout our communities! We’re collecting non-perishable food and new or gently used winter essentials, including hats, coats, scarves, gloves and blankets, to support local individuals and families in need. Every donation makes a difference! Whether it’s a few pantry staples or something to keep a neighbor warm, your generosity can make someone’s season a little brighter.

Give Back & Get a Chance to Win!

As a thank-you for giving back, new and current YMCA members will have a chance to win a FREE one-year YMCA of Delaware membership!

Here’s how to participate:

  • Donate: Bring five or more eligible items to any YMCA of Delaware location throughout November.
  • Enter: Complete a raffle entry form when you drop off your donations.
  • Win: One lucky winner will be selected from across the YMCA of Delaware!

Receive one raffle entry for every five eligible items donated. Eligible donations include non-perishable food and new or gently used hats, coats, scarves, gloves and blankets. The raffle is open to current members and nonmembers. One winner will be selected association-wide.

Please check with your local YMCA for donation drop-off details.
