Help Us Help Those in Need This Holiday Season

With the holiday season just around the corner, Fox Valley United Way is once again partnering with local businesses, community groups, families and individuals who want to reach out a helping had to those who are having difficulties during these tough economic times.
While many of us are telling our children that there won't be a lot of gifts under the tree this year, many children in our community will not have any. That is unless we do something to help. The Fox Valley United Way wants to help those needy families who won't have the means to provide gifts for their children this year.
Unfortunately for these families, many other resources in the community have dried up. Therefore, the Fox Valley United Way is asking businesses and their employees, community groups, families and individuals to consider making it a brighter holiday for area children.
Here's how you can make a difference:
- Adopt an individual family (Info: deborah.collins@uwfoxvalley.org)
- Make a montetery donation (Checks mailed to Fox Valley United Way, 44 East Galena Blvd., Aurora, IL 60505/ Cash donations can be dropped off at that same address/ Or contribute by credit card at www.uwfoxvalley.org).
- Purchase a gift card from a local grocery store to help provide a holiday meal for a family
- Purchase hats, gloves, mittens and scarves for the children so they don't have to worry about being cold during the winter months
- Run a children's toy drive! Drop off unwrapped gifts at the Fox Valley United Way office.
Please note: all gifts should be unwrapped and donations of any size are appreciated. Deadline to drop off donations at the Fox Valley United Way office is Friday, December 9th.
