We helped many fami- lies celebrate the holidays with food baskets and gifts. We dis- tributed 113 food baskets for Thanksgiving, 130 food baskets for Christmas and had gifts for 235 children in need in our rural com- munities. It takes the passion and efforts of many neighbors to make this happen, so thank you! Giving Hearts Day is right around the corner and we would like to count you as one of our Neighbors Helping Neighbors. Accord- ing to the Impact website, “Giving Hearts Day is the largest 24- hour giving event in North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. Each year, thousands of people rally around hundreds of non- profits in our community saying, ‘count me’ as a Giving Heart for charity.” Your support on this day is very important to sustain the programs at REACH and to assist us in fulfilling our mission of “Neighbors Helping Neighbors Build Strong Communities and Healthy Families.” There are several ways for you to make a donation to REACH on this very important fundraising day. Make a donation online, by mail or in person at the REACH offices or at the REACH Reusa- bles Thrift Store. If you choose to make an online donation, you can do that right now through February 14. Go to the website, www.givingheartsday.org and click on “Schedule a Gift”. If you choose to make a donation in person, please stop in during our regular business hours - checks need to be dated February 14. If you choose to mail your donation, use the enclosed envelope and donation slip, date your check February 14 and mail. Checks need to be in our office by that day, not postmarked by that day. The HYPE (Hawley Youth for a Positive Environment) group will be baking and decorating cupcakes again this year. Cupcakes are $20 for a dozen and will be delivered on the morning of Feb- ruary 14. Please call the REACH office to preorder your cup- cakes. We need you to make Giving Hearts Day a success for REACH!
