Miracle on May Street 2011 HUGE SUCCESS!

Over the past week staff and volunteers of the West Broad Street YMCA have been preparing for today, the 30th Annual Miracle on May Street, when families get to select toys, books, back to school supplies, and clothes for their children.

With more donations than ever before, the Y was able to provide Christmas to over 650 children.

Parents were very appreciative, hugging the volunteers and wiping away tears as they headed home with gifts for their children.

Children from SONATA provided choral and musical selections as a background to this festive and wonderful event.

The volunteers were equally touched knowing that they could help others. Volunteers and donations from Mistsubishi Power Systems, Randstad Staffing, Junior League of Savannah, City Church, Net Engineering Technologies, FedEx Ground Savannah, South University, University of Phoenix, Savannah Chatham County Public Schools, Armstrong Atlantic State University, Savannah State University, Sol C. Johnson High School, Critz, AKA, and many others helped make it all possible.

The Y has additional clothing, books, and a few toys. A Christmas Closet is set up at the Y from now until the end of December. Individuals may come by and select items they need. There are clothes for infants through adults.
