Live Local, Give Local is Live! Donate Today!
Date: November 19, 2024
WBNA’s Live Local, Give Local neighborhood giving campaign is now in its 9th year! Each year’s drive has seen increasing growth. Let’s build on this success to help even more neighbors who could use a little extra this year!
We Have 2 Ways to Give:
1. Donate to our Grocery Gift Card Food Drive to support families in need at our neighborhood schools and at organizations within our focus area. These gift cards help neighborhood families with their holiday groceries and other necessities and must be donated by December 15th for Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa.
2. Give to our Holiday Toy Drive for children at West End Community Center, John Hope Settlement House and other local social service agencies. Donations are accepted in the form of new and unwrapped toys or towards gift cards that WBNA will purchase and distribute.
Unwrapped toys must be dropped off at WBNA by December 9th; deadline for gift cards is December 15th.
“When WBNA presented us with fifteen $25.00 gift cards to Stop ‘N Shop in December 2023, it was a gift we knew would go a long way to help support families experiencing food insecurities. The impact their generosity made during this crucial time of year, was part Santa Claus and Christmas miracle and we are forever grateful.” – Beth O’Day, Culture Coordinator, PCTA
We also always keep a few gift cards on hand for individual neighbors we hear may need a little extra support at the holidays. Please let us know if you or a neighbor could benefit from a grocery gift card this year. You can email siobhan@wbna.org and names will be kept confidential. You may also always drop an anonymous note through our door slot (we will need the name and address of the recipient!)
