Extra Bottles of Wine at Home?
We can help with that! We are currently collecting restaurant gift cards and wine bottle donations to be used as prizes for our fabulous Extravaganza games. Food not your forte? Perhaps you have season tickets or a vacation rental you can donate? Maybe your company could provide a donation item? Any donation is greatly appreciated and can be dropped off at the front office.
Looking to donate your time instead? We’d love a few more volunteers to join our procurement team! This is a fun, hands-on way to make a real impact by gathering donations from local businesses. Every call, visit, or conversation you have brings us one step closer to our goals! For more information about volunteering, please contact our Procurement Chair, Tanya Habib, at tanyag88@hotmail.com.
