  • Dec. 14-18: Candy Cane Lane at YWCA Utah. "In the past, gifts for Candy Cane Lane have been stocked by generous in-kind donations, from community members, resulting in over 5,000 items to fulfill families’ wish lists. These donations are used to help families not just during Candy Cane Lane, but all throughout the winter months, and allow us to keep an extra inventory for new families arriving to the YWCA Utah. Schedule your donation drop off here, learn more about Candy Cane Lane, or sign up to volunteer at ywcautah.org/candycanelane."
