POPS Giving Tree - We understand there are many worthy opportunities to give back to our community. With the Holicong Giving Tree we will be sponsoring (5+) five Holicong families. The families that will be benefiting from your donation live in our community.
*The P.O.P.S. kids will put together a basket for each family with candles, chocolates, and cookies that we bake.
*Caldwell’s in Doylestown has been incredibly generous every year, providing clothing and gifts to the members of each family we sponsor
We appreciate how incredibly generous all of you are and that is why I feel confident we will meet the need of these families.
Your giving will make a significant difference in the Holiday celebration of these kids and their families.
There are two ways to give:
- For the Giving Tree (located in the Student Services Office) we are going to collect Gift Cards from a select group of stores so that they can add up to something substantial for the families.
Walmart, Target, Old Navy, Wawa and Giant
- MyPaymentsPlus – You can give a monetary donation directly thru the MyPaymentsPlus app.
The Activity is: Holicong 2023 Annual Holiday Drive
All staff, and families are welcome to be involved.
If you would like to participate with Gift Cards please send them to the Student Services Office.
All cards and donations need to be returned by Wednesday, December 13th so we can get them to our families.
Thank You for your generosity and care!!!
