Tuesday, May 6th is the fourth annual GiveBIG event, a 24-hour on-line charitable giving event hosted by the Seattle Foundation. Donations will support many nonprofits to make our communities greater, fight social injustices, and give those in need a helping hand.
This is our opportunity to step up and make a difference – to help the causes, communities, and people we care about. Like, for example, two important nonprofits in Wallingford’s own backyard, both neighborhood-based and primarily serving our local community.
With your support, FamilyWorks and Wallingford Community Senior Center have been serving Wallingford and beyond by supplying needed resources, providing safe spaces, and empowering individuals. A gift on May 6th will help continue this work in our neighborhood community.
Click the links below to learn more about our neighbors, and to make your GiveBIG donations on May 6th.
Wallingford Community Senior Center – Building community across generations. Fostering healthy, positive, safe aging.
FamilyWorks Food Bank & Resource Center
– Connecting individuals and families to food and family support on their path to resilience.
This is a call for all of us to participate on that day – in the spirit of creating a stronger, healthier, more vibrant community for everyone. So, act locally for Wallingford! The event runs midnight to midnight. Gifts large and small matter, and will get a boost from a ‘stretch pool’ funded by The Seattle Foundation and key GiveBIG sponsors. So your gift will go a little further!
Thank You for Giving Big, Wallingford!
