YMCA of Greater Des Moines

Help Make Elf Day Special for Our 140 Residents 🎄 Elf Day is one of the highlights of the holiday season at the YMCA Supportive Housing Campus, and we want to make this year especially memorable for our residents. We are looking for volunteers who would like to help with one of the opportunities below. These projects are to be completed off site, and we ask that volunteers provide the supplies needed for their project. If one of these opportunities stands out to you, let us know! We are also happy to hear any other ideas you may have for spreading some holiday cheer. Holiday Volunteer Opportunities: 150 Christmas Cards: Create Christmas cards for each resident to receive on Christmas morning, filled with uplifting notes and well wishes. 150 Servings of Baked Goods: Who doesn't love cookies and other sweet treats during the holidays? Help provide a holiday treat for our residents. 150 Stocking Stuffer Kindness Bags: Create small goodie bags filled with treats and thoughtful items to accompany each resident's gift. 150 Hot Cocoa Kits: Put together a simple hot cocoa kit with a hot chocolate packet, mini marshmallows and a candy cane. Feel free to include a handwritten note! If interested please contact Nicholas.Drahozal@dmymca.org. Donations can be dropped off before December 15th anytime Monday through Thursday between 9 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. Learn more and take a virtual tour of our campus here: youtube.com/watch?v=YTshFDMScsM&t
