#GivingTuesday: 3 ways to give to Tedford Housing during the holiday season!

November 27, 2018 By Jennifer Leave a Comment

#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. #GivingTuesday also kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. Following are 3 ways to give to Tedford Housing during the holiday season!

1. Give to our Annual Fund

Tedford Housing believes that everyone deserves to have a safe and affordable home. With the help of our diverse supporters, we are able to provide pathways from homelessness to home to those neighbors in our community that need it. Please consider a gift to our annual fund before the year ends. You can give securely online via our website or mail your donation to Tedford Housing, P.O. Box 958, Brunswick, ME 04011.

 

2. Donate Gifts to the Christmas Store

Tedford Housing is partnering with Pathway Vineyard Church once again to make the Christmas Store available to families in need. Last year, a whopping total of 205 individuals that Tedford serves benefited from this partnership.

Seeking Donations for the 2018 Christmas Store

November 15, 2018 By Jennifer Leave a Comment

Tedford Housing is partnering with Pathway Vineyard Church once again to make the Christmas Store available to families in need. Last year, a whopping total of 205 individuals that Tedford serves benefited from this partnership.

Thanks to all of the wonderful donors from last year’s holiday effort with Pathway Vineyard Church, 46 families (including 56 adults and 99 children) were able to “shop” in the Christmas store. In addition, 34 individuals in our supportive housing and outreach services and 16 shelter guests benefited from this community partnership. Individuals, schools, companies and other supporters came together to make sure our guests and clients were able to enjoy things like warm blankets, dish sets, hats and mittens, and, of course, toys for the kids on Christmas morning.

There will be fun crafts, Christmas movies, coffee, hot cocoa, and other treats while families wait their turn to shop. Everyone will get equal access to gifts and have the opportunity to have their gifts wrapped.

To help stock the free store for parents and kids in need, we are looking for the following donations of new items:

Towels & Washcloths
Blankets (twin & queen)
Sheet Sets
Pillows
Pots & Pans
Dish Sets
Dish Towels
Hats & Mittens
Socks

New, unwrapped items can be donated to Tedford Housing by Thursday, December 6th. Items can be dropped off at Tedford’s administrative office (14 Middle Street, Brunswick) between 9am and 4pm, Monday – Thursday.
