The West Seattle and Fauntleroy YMCA would like to thank our members and community for once again supporting our Holiday Giving Tree project. The Giving Tree helps brighten the holidays for many families who struggle to meet basic needs like food and shelter.

In spite of the snow and ice, in spite of tough economic times, hundreds of YMCA members and West Seattle residents brought in gifts for kids, teens, and adults from 65 different families. Their generosity truly demonstrated the spirit of the season, and made the holidays a special time for these families in ways some of us may take for granted.

We would also like to extend special thanks to the Charlestown Caf
