Centennial Celebration engages nonprofits, donors with “Giving is Golden”
The City of Lewisville continues its initiative Giving is Golden as a way for residents to
support their neighbors, and engage with local nonprofits in need, as part of its
Centennial Celebration in 2025.
“Giving is Golden” will include four collection drives throughout the year
supporting local nonprofits that provide valuable support services to area residents.
Each drive will encourage donations of specific item types that are most needed by one
or more agencies. The goal of the program is to gather 2,025 units of that item during
each collection window.
Current collection continues through May 25:
Items being collected:
- paper towels
- toilet paper
- feminine hygiene products
- toothpaste
- shampoo/conditioner
- full size bath items and deodorant
Please donate only unopened and unused items. Please keep any liquid products in a
shopping bag.
