VOLUNTEER: 7th Annual Catalyst Christmas
BRINGING HOPE HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!
Catalyst Christmas is the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas' annual holiday outreach initiative providing food and essential care items to families across North Texas. Presented by Reliant, this community-wide effort helps ensure families have the support they need during the holiday season.
In 2025, Catalyst Christmas served more than 1,300 families and 5,000 individuals, with the help of 100 volunteers and 17 communities. Together, we distributed more than 40,000 pounds of food and 11,000 household and personal care items. Here's how you can help:
