Holiday Wishes Program – Donor Registration Now Open

Waunakee Neighborhood Connection has begun donor registration for its Holiday Wishes program (formerly Adopt-a-Family). The holidays and winter season can be especially difficult for low income households. As the community pulls together to make the season bright for everyone, the generosity of donors can make a tremendous difference in the lives of families here in Waunakee that are facing financial hardship.

Through the Holiday Wishes program, donors are matched with a specific family and receive the family’s holiday wish list to help fulfill. Donors can choose how large of a family they would like to assist, and the general guideline is that they spend no more than $100 for each member of the household with which they’ve been matched.

The collection and distribution of gifts will take place on December 16^th and 17^th at the Waunakee Village Center.

Individuals, families, organizations, and businesses are invited to participate as donors. Those who would like to be matched with a family are asked to register by November 4^th. For more information about the program and to register, visit https://conta.cc/3fYuzqG .

“As in past years, the number of families we serve continues to grow and now stands at over 350,” said Lisa Humenik, executive director. “It is so heart-warming to have members of the community come together to support each other and ease the financial stress that many families experience during the holidays.”
