WIN-Women Involved in Newtown is getting ready for our annual Thanksgiving Outreach. Every year we partner with Human Services to help connect Newtown households in need with those who want to give during Thanksgiving time. Adopted households receive everything they need for a Thanksgiving Dinner, additional everyday groceries, household needs and pet supplies. We simplified the process so there is no direct contact between donor and recipient. If you would like to adopt a household, please email us at [email protected] or complete the following form: https://forms.gle/ZSZHsqFZjpC1jJmf8
You can also support this outreach by making a monetary donation using the following link: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=JFJK95CSFHA32
For more information please visit our website: https://winct.org/thanksgiving-baskets
WIN is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization so your donation is tax-deductible and 100% will go directly to those in need.
If you know of a Newtown neighbor in need, please direct them to contact Newtown Human Services at 203-270-4330.
Thank you in advance for your continued support of this yearly outreach. We could not help those in need without your generosity and kindness!
