ANGEL TREE

Be on the look out for our Angel Tree coming just before Thanksgiving! For many years, our members have generously supported local families by donating gifts and volunteering their time to help sort and wrap presents all in time for Christmas.

The Hampton Family YMCA is partnering with H.E.L.P. and Healthy Family Partnerships to help Hampton families have a merry Christmas. The process for Angel Tree shopping is as follows:

1. Choose one or more angels from the tree coming soon to the lobby.

2. Sign out the angel you chose at the Welcome Center.

3. Purchase items.

4. Return items unwrapped to the YMCA with the angel and gift reciept attached.

Thank you for your continuous support of our Hampton community!
