Holiday Assistance
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 families in need, who won't have the means to provide gifts for their children this year. You can help by donating to the Fox Valley United Way Holiday Assistance fund. Your money will be used to purchase clothes, toys, hats, mittens and scarves for the children. If donations allow, we will also buy each family a gift card to a local grocery store, so they can enjoy a family holiday meal!
