ALL WRAPPED UP HOLIDAY GIVING PROGRAM 2009
The Volunteer Center is sponsoring the All Wrapped Up Holiday Giving Program, which matches individuals and families in need with willing donors from the community. This program has proven an effective way to ensure that the neediest people are remembered at holiday time.
Our holiday program continues to be a great success. Last year, 834 families and 902 individuals, referred by 81 area non-profit agencies, were "adopted" by other families, individuals, community groups and companies. Over 950 donors from the community responded with contributions of gifts, gift certificates, toys, clothing and household items, totaling more than $450,000. Over 3,800 people coping with illness, unemployment, isolation, domestic abuse and poverty were helped by these generous donors
The Holiday Hotline opened on November 2, 2009. From this point until mid-December, we will be busy matching donors with people referred by area agencies.
