Jim & Heather Gills YMCA is getting a facelift! - More Details »
Embracing the true meaning of social responsibility, the YMCA of Greater St. Petersburg is once again teaming up with our community in 2025 to bring the spirit of Christmas to nearly 400 families and nearly 1,000 children. For more than 30 years, the YMCA Neighbor to Neighbor Christmas Program has provided families in need with the joys of a traditional Christmas.
Your support of the 35th Annual 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.
While the holidays mark a special moment, your impact continues well beyond December. The YMCA remains alongside these families throughout the year through youth sports, family programs and community events that strengthen connection and create opportunity. This program is about more than gifts - it’s about neighbors showing up for neighbors. On behalf of the YMCA team and the families you supported, thank you for the care, compassion, and commitment you share with our community.
As of July 1, 2025, Florida’s State Bill 700 restricts nonprofits from accepting donations from individuals or entities tied to certain foreign countries labeled “foreign sources of concern” (China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela under Maduro, and Syria).
By making a gift to the YMCA of Greater St. Petersburg, you certify that:
Thank you.
Every dollar contributed directly benefits the children and families in the program.
