Holiday Gift Cards

 

My husband and I have had quite a change in our lives.  Our financial fortunes have changed but our spirits are intact.  We cannot thank you enough for the generous gift cards.  

-- Gladys S.

The Need:  For many low-income residents and clients of the Wellesley Food Pantry, the holiday season can bring financial strain, making it difficult to afford special meals for their families.

 

Our Response:  For over 100 years, Wellesley Friendly Aid has helped brighten the holidays for residents in need. Each November, we distribute $50 Roche Bros. gift cards to eligible households, allowing them to purchase food for their holiday celebrations. Thanks to Roche Bros.’ generosity, each household also receives an additional $10 gift card.  Members of the Wellesley Hills Juniors Women’s Club provide an extra $10 gift card for families with households of four or more people.

The Impact:  Each year, this program supports approximately 300, ensuring that families can enjoy a festive meal and experience the warmth of the holiday season.

Community Partners:  This initiative is made possible through collaboration with town social workers, Roche Bros., Wellesley Hills Junior Women’s Club, Wellesley Food Pantry, and Wellesley Housing Authority.
