The Angel Project Needs Your Help

The Holiday Season will be upon us quickly!!!  This year W.O.W. has partnered with four very deserving local charities:  CHILD ADVOCACY – Your donation will be used to buy gift cards to be distributed by the Center for clients who need meals, clothing or other essentials.  CHILDREN’S PLACE – Your donation will go to provide winter essentials, such as socks, shoes, and coats to children who have adversity in their lives.  NORTH AIKEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL – Your donation will go towards filling backpacks with school supplies, clothing, and toiletries for needy students.  SENIOR LIFE SERVICES – Your money will go to provide Christmas gifts to deserving clients.  These gifts may include clothing, toiletries, and special food treats.
Send your check made out to W.O.W. to:  Julie Brozowski or Margie Robertson.  You may note your charity preference on the check.  In order to maximize the buying power of your donation, the agency staff will shop for the requested gift items.  If you want to help with the shopping, call Julie or Margie and we’ll get you temporary elf status!  Santa’s helpers are already out there looking for deals, so please send your check now.
