Holiday for Giving-Wallingford

Holiday for Giving-Wallingford Holiday for Giving has been helping Wallingford families in need for over 50 years through volunteer efforts and collaboration with local businesses.

The Holiday for Giving Program is a community organization run by volunteers; it functions solely on donations from individuals, organizations and local businesses. All donations are given directly back to those in need in the Wallingford Community. The core committee of 15 volunteers meet during the year to plan the December give-aways. We operate with the co-operative effort of many organization

s including the Yalesville Volunteer Fire Department, Peer Advocate and National Honor Society members from Lyman Hall and Sheehan, Dag Hammarskjold Girl's Basketball team, Dag Builder's Club, students, teachers, and administrators in all the town schools, the Wallingford Public Library and the Town of Wallingford employees. We receive support services from the Wallingford Youth & Social Services, the Public Works Department, the Electric Division and all the Fire Departments. There is a true pooling of resources of volunteers, organizations, clubs, corporations, small businesses and individuals. With the dedication of time, donated goods and monetary donations from all these groups combined, we are able to provide hundreds of Wallingford families with a little "Holiday Magic". We hope you will help us create some "Holiday Magic" this season

Our volunteers had such an amazing morning at Annual Toy Drive .

Our nonprofit was honored to be one of seven recipients to be awarded from the donations collected.

Each year we rely 100% on the donations collected and by the blood sweat and tears of our volunteers who selflessly organize our event to benefit families in need directly within our Wallingford community.

We are always looking for more funding and volunteers, even if only for a few hours during our giveaway week. Link in bio with more info on how YOU can help .

The Wallingford Community Resource Alliance held a great December meeting!

Huge thanks to Jason and Jessica from Connecticut Foodshare for sharing all the amazing work they do across Connecticut’s 169 towns! Alliance members also had the chance to highlight their upcoming programs, events, and initiatives.
