Shop to Benefit WRC
Shopping bagsThere are two great ways to shop to benefit WRC this holiday season. 
 
First, stop by Ten Thousand Villages in Virginia Highlands today (Tuesday, December 8) from 6-8pm. You can give fairly traded gifts this season - toys, jewelry, baskets, nativities, ornaments, folk art and more - and 10% of your total purchase will be donated to women right here. You can also sign up for a gift bag drawing for free services or discounts from local businesses and fair trade gifts, and you'll receive ½ off any food items on the menu at Neighbor's Pub by showing your receipt.
 
Also, during your regular holiday shopping, look for deals on these items that WRC needs most: blankets, pillows, space heaters, and towel sets.  These items can be dropped off Monday-Friday 9am-5pm at our Decatur office.
 
Call Amber Harris at 404-370-7670 for more ideas for donations that will make our holiday bright!
