Family-to-Family Giving

We are participating in the Family-to-Family Holiday Giving program sponsored by the Cape Cod Department of Children and Families (DCF) to help families in need and children in foster care. At the South Yarmouth Library and the West Yarmouth Library you will find a holiday display of gift tags with a child's name and suggested gifts for this child in need.

Consider donating a gift card and drop those at the libraries, as well. DCF will use the gift cards to help local teens in need. Popular cards include: Burger King, Chipotle, McDonald’s, Panera, Subway, Wendy's, Dick's Sporting Goods, Target, Marshalls, Sephora, TJMaxx, Walmart, or video game gift cards such as Xbox, Play Station, or Roblox. Library staff can answer questions about how to participate in the Holiday Giving program; contact ckaufmann@clamsnet.org or call either library. Gifts and gift cards are due back to the libraries by Thursday, December 15. Thank you!
