NHHA needs sponsors for its ‘Making Spirits Bright’ Holiday Campaign, Coat Drive

Sponsors are needed for NHHA's Making Spirits Bright campaign and coats to benefit Northborough families in need. Deadline: 11/15.

Northborough Helping Hands Association, Inc. (NHHA) is busy checking their lists this October in preparation for their annual Making Spirits Bright holiday outreach program. The program has been assisting Northborough families and senior citizens in need for over 20 years. NHHA invites the community to get involved by sponsoring a gift, a child, or a grocery gift card. The deadline for donations is Saturday, November 15.

In collaboration with local human service programs, NHHA identifies families and individuals in need of holiday support. This year, NHHA aims to raise funds to provide gift cards to parents, allowing them to personally purchase much-needed clothing or a special toy from their child’s wish list. Grocery gift cards will also be distributed to senior citizens and singles in need.

The gift cards will be distributed at NHHA's annual Thanksgiving event, where recipients also receive a turkey with all the trimmings.
