Join us for Dream in Action: MLK Day Service & Collection Drive, a Summit Area YMCA initiative honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of service, equity, and compassion. Now through January 19, we’re collecting coats, hats, gloves, and toys to support and distribute to local families in need.
We are collecting new and gently used winter items for families.
Volunteers are essential to bringing this event to life on Monday, January 19 at the Summit YMCA. While families ‘shop’ children will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on activity stations. Crafts and projects created during the event will be donated to local organizations, spreading joy beyond the walls of the Y. Any remaining clothing items after the event will be donated to a local charity, ensuring that every contribution continues to make an impact. Volunteer opportunities include set-up, event support, and clean-up.
