Festival of Trees
The Northern Neck Family YMCA is committed to providing high-quality programs and membership in a caring environment, regardless of an individual’s ability to pay. The funds raised at our Festival of Trees event help children learn, adults grow, and families strengthen. When financial assistance is needed to pay for these life-enriching programs, the funds raised at our event provide the resources. So join us on Saturday, December 7, at the Northern Neck Family YMCA for fellowship, a fabulous meal, and raising resources to support our community.
