Westwood Youth and Family Services Gift Giving Program
We are pleased to announce that planning has begun for Westwood Youth & Family Services Holiday Giving Program. Having taken place since 1999, this is a confidential process in which gifts are donated to families who may not be financially able to purchase gifts on their own for the holidays.
The Holiday Giving program is open to any resident of Westwood with children between birth to 18 years old, with no requirements as to the level of the need. This includes ALL students enrolled in Westwood Public Schools and other children who live in their household.
