Tree of Giving
The “Tree of Giving” is an opportunity for the community to assist families in need of some cheer this holiday season, who live in the Boothbay Region. In 2025 we helped 29 families and 65 children with an opportunity to experience a joyful holiday season.

Community members and groups are invited to stop by the Y, choose tags off the tree, purchase the items, wrap them and return them with the tags to the Y by Tuesday, December 15th.
