YWCA Launches its Holiday Hearts Campaign

The YWCA Bucks County Holiday Hearts Program is dedicated to making the holiday season happy for hundreds of underserved children in Bucks County who are participating in a variety of YWCA Youth Services programs.

Through the Holiday Hearts Program, YWCA Bucks County reaches out to the many needy families it serves during the year and buys small gifts and necessities for children participating in Homework Zones, Early Academic Intervention Programs, Pre-Kindergarten classes, Saturday Camp and other YWCA Youth Services academic enrichment and life skills learning initiatives. This year, the YWCA will be providing a holiday gift to more than 400 underserved children in the County.

The YWCA is seeking individuals and organizations that would like to make a financial contribution to the Holiday Hearts Program to support the purchase of gifts. In addition to financial contributions, individuals and organizations that prefer a more hands-on involvement with the Program can contact the YWCA and offer to “adopt” a child or children for whom to buy gifts.  Presently 65 children are waiting to be adopted. A child’s name and their “wish list” will be provided by the YWCA. 

All gifts must be wrapped and labeled with the child’s name and secured in a plastic bag, which must also be labeled with the child’s name. All gifts must be received at the following address by Dec. 9, to facilitate distribution.
