This global giving day takes place each year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Following the consumer-driven holidays of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday encourages communities to do good and ushers in the charitable giving season. MONETARY DONATIONS: are appreciated and can be made payable to the Whitehall-Coplay Hunger Initiative, C/O Shari Noctor, 1080 Schadt Ave, Whitehall, PA 18052. Please go www.tinyurl.com/WCHIprograms to review all the programs we currently offer. Please put in the memo section where you want your monetary donation applied. The Whitehall-Coplay Hunger Initiative is a 501(c) (3) IRS approved nonprofit organization and your donation may be tax deductible TOILETRY DONATIONS: We always need: Baby and Adult Diapers, Feminine Products, Shampoo & Conditioner, Soap, Tissues, Toothpaste, Toothbrushes, and Toilet Paper. Federal Government programs such as SNAP and WIC, do not allow the funds for these programs to purchase toiletry items just food. Second Harvest Food Bank, where we get 85% of our food also cannot purchase toiletries. For low-income residents, toiletries are very expensive. And the lack of certain items also can create some health issues i.e. baby diapers and feminine products in use too long before they are changed causes some infections. See below in Food Donations where the toiletries can be shipped or dropped off. FOOD DONATIONS: are appreciated and may be shipped c/o Shai Noctor or dropped off at RE/MAX Unlimited Real Estate, 1080 Schadt Ave, Whitehall, PA 18052. Please leave your food donations inside the foyer on the right, Monday through Friday 9AM- 5PM, Saturday 9AM-1PM & Sunday 10AM-1PM. We need cranberry sauce, stuffing mix, and instant mashed potatoes. Please go to https://tinyurl.com/WCHIPantryList for a complete list of both food and toiletry needed items.
