2 Companies Give $1,050 To We're One Wilmington After Pie Fundraiser

WILMINGTON, MA — Two local companies have announced they have donated the proceeds from their annual Thanksgiving Pie Fundraiser to We're One Wilmington (WOW).

Wilmington-based Team Blue of ERA Key Realty Services and Burlington-based DaMore Law said $1,050 was given to WOW, which helps individuals in financial need and runs an annual Holiday Gift Assistance Program (HGP).

"This year's fundraiser was a great success, thanks to the generosity of local businesses and individuals who donated pies, time and money," said Lori Penney, the leader of Team Blue.

Penney continued: "Supporting the Wilmington community is extremely important to Team Blue. We host this fundraiser annually for Thanksgiving to help give back to the community during the holiday season, which can be stressful for some. Thanks to everyone who contributed. Your support will help make a real difference in the lives of many people right here in our community."

WOW was founded on the mission of strengthening the community one good deed at a time.

The organization, according to its literature, supports families and individuals connected to the Wilmington Community who are experiencing financial, emotional or medical emergencies, or who have dealt with issues like the death of loved ones, catastrophic events — like house fires — and other life-changing incidents.

The organization's HGP program helps to provide holiday gifts for individuals and/or families/households in financial need.

According to WOW's website, to receive assistance, people must submit a completed application, photo ID and proof of Wilmington residency.

WOW will host its 12th Festival of Trees this Friday through Sunday in the Lower Hall of St. Dorothy Church.
