Operation Holiday Joy

The holidays can be an especially trying time for the families or our service members currently deployed overseas. As hundreds of thousands of military families await their loved ones’ return, it’s our job to make their days a little brighter and their holiday season a little more joyous.

ASYMCAand Woman’s Day magazine, in partnership with the Military Channel, partner every November (Military Family Month) to sponsor Operation Holiday Joy, a national holiday drive to raise money for military families in need. All donations are used to purchase toys and holiday food baskets for military families in need. The drive has resulted in contributions totaling more than $1 million from more than 6,900 generous donors.

How to Donate

Those interested in making a monetary donation to Operation Holiday Joy are asked to please send a check payable to Armed Services YMCA (include a notation specifying the WD/ASYMCA holiday drive) to:
