Review for Armed Services YMCA San Diego , San Diego, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The old adage of the more you give the more you receive really rings true regarding my experience with San Diego Armed Services YMCA USA and their Christmas toy donation event. On my birthday in December, my wife and I volunteered. We worked extremely hard and put in many hours, but afterward we felt so vibrant and joyful. What a great gift it was to help others enjoy Christmas and the holiday season. The smiles on everyone's faces helped make this one of my most enjoyable and memorable birthdays ever. Thank you ASYMCA for all that you do and for allowing me to participate in such a necessary and generous event. Your staff and managers were courteous, organized, welcoming and attentive. I'll definitely be back!
