Armed Services YMCA Camp Pendleton

Secret Santa Program

 Support Military Familes for the Holiday Season 

Secret Santa supports military families with children who are referred to the Armed Services YMCA.  As with previous years, the families provide the Armed Services YMCA a wish list which is then assigned to a generous sponsor family, organization, or business in the local community.  The first name, age and gender of each family member is provided this way the sponsor can shop, wrap and personalize the gifts for each family member. The Sponsor is not expected to purchase every gift on the wish list, however use it as a guide in purchasing age and gender appropriate gifts.  These may include toys, electronics, clothing, household items and/or gift cards.  The gifts must be new and we recommend spending approximately $50 per family member.  Once the shopping is completed and gifts are wrapped, they are to be delivered on/or  before December 10, 2021.  If you would like full tax credit for your donation we ask that you bring/provide the receipt or a copy,  for the items you are claiming.  We will provide you an "In Kind" form at the time of drop off. 

Families are assigned on a first come first serve basis and will be assigned as soon as they become available and no later than November 5, 2021.  The military families will pick up their gifts on December 16th.
