Making the Holidays Brighter - The Reindeer Project |
|
|
| | The Reindeer Project was created by the Chariho Youth Task Force to bring some extra Christmas cheer to a group of local residents in need. To make this as streamlined as possible, a wishlist of requested Items has been created on Amazon.com. You can also purchase an eGift Card that we will used to buy unfulfilled requests. Purchases will be sent directly to Amy Neilson, Community Health Worker, and will be delivered to each family by December 18th. (This list is a work-in-progress and will continue to be updated through December 6th.) | | |
|
| | If you'd prefer to make a monetary donation there is a Paypal button at the top of the Chariho Youth Task Force page, or checks payable to the Chariho Youth Task Force can be mailed to PO Box 780, Wyoming RI, 02898. The Task Force is a 501(c)3 organization. The deadline to receive items is Wednesday, December 15. If you have any questions, please reach out to Amy Neilson, Community Health Worker, amy@charihoyouth.org, 401-212-2741 Thank you for helping to make the holidays a little brighter for your neighbors. | | |
