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 Friday, November 8.
In collaboration with local human service programs, NHHA identifies families and individuals in
need of holiday support. This year, NHHA aims to raise $14,000 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.
Last year, NHHA served 63 families and 62 senior/adult households, making the holiday season
brighter for local families. The gift cards will be distributed at NHHA’s annual Thanksgiving
event, where recipients also receive a turkey with all the trimmings.
How can you help?
A donation of $75 sponsors one child, $25 sponsors one gift, and $50 sponsors a grocery card for
a senior. NHHA requests monetary donations so gift cards can be personalized to each family’s
needs before distribution. Donations of any amount are welcome and appreciated.
