Centennial Celebration engages nonprofits, donors with “Giving is Golden”
The City of Lewisville Centennial Celebration included the initiative Giving is Golden as a way for residents to support their neighbors and engage with local nonprofits in need.
From January through September “Giving is Golden” included four collection drives supporting local nonprofits that provide valuable support services to area residents.
Each drive encouraged donations of specific item types that were most needed by one or more agencies. The goal of the program was to gather 2,025 units of that item during each collection window.
Items collected during all Giving is Golden drives totaled 6,961 items.
Thank you, Lewisville, for your support of this initiative!
