Tree of Giving
The “Tree of Giving” is an opportunity for the community to assist families in need of some cheer this holiday season. In 2025 we helped 28 families and 69 children with an opportunity to experience a joyful holiday season.
Timeline for 2025
-
October 28th: Applications for families available (online or mailed to families who participated last season)

If you wish to purchase a gift for a child in need, gift tags will be available between November 15 through December 1 at the Y and other locations within the community. Community members and groups are invited to stop by the Y, choose tags off the tree, purchase the items, wrap them and return them with the tags to the Y by Tuesday, December 16th.
Families will be able to pick up gifts from the front desk starting on Monday, December 16th.
The Boothbay Region YMCA offers this program in partnership with local schools, businesses, churches, town offices, and the Community Navigator.
