For years, Pittsburgh's Action News 4 has been following a Secret Santa who leaves gifts for the homeless. Last year, we discovered the YMCA was behind the giving. This year, even during a pandemic, volunteers aren't just helping the homeless — they also helped more than 100 families in need.Watch the full story in the video player above. A gesture of leaving gifts for the homeless has turned into a holiday tradition, and the giving grows with each year passing."The support we had this year was overwhelming," said Jim Lybarger of the Spencer Family YMCA. "It really gives you a lot of pride in your community and how people in a time of need with COVID are really reaching out to help others."The YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh is the source behind the secret Santa that left a tree filled with scarves and hats a few years ago. This year, there are wrapped presents, such as sleeping bags and coats under two Christmas trees. One tree sits under the 10th Street Bridge on the South Side and the another is under the West End Bridge. The Spencer Family YMCA didn't stop there."Part of this is not only the encampments but our Allegheny YMCA on the Northside actually has residents there and we supply gifts to them so between the two communities we really do see gratefulness for even the smallest of items," Lybarger said.The YMCA partnered with the group “Adopt a Family.” Presents were donated from the community and will be given out to more than 100 families."We have wish lists from a can of SpaghettiOs to a Nintendo Switch,” Pam Sanders of Adopt a Family South Hills said.“The range of people that we help is so great. There was a line of cars out to the street, last Saturday. Some people waited in line for up to an hour to drop off their gifts and I can say there was not one Grinch in line which is pretty amazing."The spirit of giving has inspired a younger generation to look at Christmas in another light."Carmella and I feel really grateful that we were able to help out, especially during this hard time with the pandemic," volunteer Victoria Semenov said.Volunteer Carmella McNally added: "It made you kind of realize that Christmas really isn't just about the gifts but about really helping others."The YMCA hopes they can give more gifts next year.
