UPDATE: The annual Holiday Donation Drive in Wake Forest, NC is officially underway, with a goal to exceed last year’s impressive total of $7,000. This urgent initiative, spearheaded by local government officials, aims to address critical community needs, including hunger relief and youth program support. Residents and local businesses are encouraged to contribute immediately through the official website or by mail.
The drive, which runs until December 31, seeks contributions for several vital programs, including HOPE, which provides electricity assistance to those in need, and the Northern Community Food Security Team, dedicated to combating food scarcity. Other beneficiaries include Shop with a Cop, the Wake Forest Firefighters Foundation, and scholarship programs for the Wake Forest Center for Active Aging and Wake Forest Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources.
Residents can make a difference by donating online or sending checks to 301 S. Brooks St., Wake Forest, NC 27587. Donors should write “WF Cares” in the memo line to ensure funds are allocated correctly. According to the Town of Wake Forest’s official announcement,
“One hundred percent of all contributions will be directed to the designated organization(s)/initiative(s).”
For those wishing to support multiple initiatives, donations can be split evenly across chosen programs. For example, a $50 donation divided between two programs would allocate $25 to each, allowing for broader community support.
This year’s donation drive emphasizes the importance of community participation. As the holidays approach, organizers urge all Wake Forest residents to get involved and help elevate the spirit of giving. With substantial needs in the community, every contribution counts.
Stay tuned for updates as the campaign progresses—together, we can make a significant impact this holiday season!
