IN OUR COMMUNITY
COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS
Community Christmas will no longer be accepting mail in requests.
Marshfield Residents will need to go to the Community Christmas location at the Marshfield Fairground and sign up in person.
A license and proof of residency (tax bill, utility bill etc..) will be required at that time.
Community Christmas will be open November 12th.
EARN MONEY FOR GWS AS YOU CLEAN OUT YOUR CLOSETS!
Put your unwanted items to good use by dropping them in our textiles recycling bin, located in our parking lot near the trash dumpsters. Ninety-five percent of all textiles can be recycled.
The following can be donated as long as they are clean & dry: clothing, shoes, pocketbooks, table linens, bed linens, draperies, throw rugs, and stuffed animals. Please place your items in plastic bags so that they will stay dry.
GWS will earn $100 for every ton of textiles placed in our recycling bin.
