YWCA Glendale & Pasadena's Holiday Giving Program |
We Need Your Help
Each year, the Hope For The Holiday donors at YWCA Glendale & Pasadena make holiday wishes come true for families impacted by domestic violence.
Through our Holiday Gift Giving program, each family provides a list of their most needed and desired items, and donors are matched with family profiles and wish lists. We invite you to join us this winter season in support of survivors of domestic violence and their children.

How It Works
You may choose to gift to a small, medium, or large-sized family. If you are unable to gift to a family, you can still choose to donate gift cards to help these families. After all families have been matched, you should receive the family’s wish list before the end of November. Wish lists include sizes, preferences and any special needs. Please place gifts in a large bag or box label with family ID. Gift Drop-Off will be held between December 13th-15th. Gifts should be dropped off at the YWCA Glendale & Pasadena's office at 735 E. Lexington Dr. Glendale CA 91206 between 10:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Please call or email us to arrange a drop-off if possible, as we have a small team. Thank you!
Important Tips
The average cost to buy for a small family is $250. You are welcome to purchase gifts for the parents as well. We ask that you purchase new clothing and toys only. Used donations will not be accepted.
If donating gift cards, please wrap them separately.
