YMCA of Greater St. Petersburg Launches “Christmas in July” Toy Drive to Support Annual Neighbor to Neighbor Christmas Program

St. Petersburg, FL, July 3, 2025 — YMCA of Greater St. Petersburg is getting an early start on the holiday season with its Christmas in July toy drive, aimed at stocking the toy room for the Y’s annual Neighbor to Neighbor Christmas program. This beloved community event provides gifts and support to local families in need during the holiday season.
By encouraging early giving, the YMCA is helping donors take advantage of major summer sales, including Amazon Prime Day (July 8–11) and Target Circle Week (July 6–12). Online registries have been created to make it easy for community members to shop and send items directly to the YMCA.
“Neighbor to Neighbor Christmas is one of our biggest and most meaningful events of the year,” said David Jezek, President & CEO of YMCA of Greater St. Petersburg. “Christmas in July gives our staff, members, and neighbors a head start on making a difference. Every toy purchased now helps us bring joy to families this December.”
For more information or to shop the toy registries, please visit our Neighbor to Neighbor Christmas Program website.
