Ward 4 Mutual Aid’s Holiday Gift Match is now open for sponsors!
We'd love to invite Ward 4's school communities to participate. This could be a meaningful opportunity for PTAs, student groups, classrooms, or individual families to come together and sponsor a local household. It's also a great way to engage students in giving back to their own community.
It’s been a challenging year for many in our community, and this is such a meaningful way to spread a little kindness close to home.
Here are three ways to get involved:
Contribute any amount — a great option if you're short on time or unable to sponsor an entire family.
Family sign-ups run November 15–17, with sponsor matching beginning November 18.
Thank you,
