The Village Bank, Newton Rotary Club, and the City of Newton Department of Health and Human Services are sponsoring Newton's 15th Annual Holiday Gift Drive for local children through December 12th. Here's how to participate:
- Bring gifts, new and unwrapped, for ages 0-10 years - including age-appropriate toys, games, electronics, sporting goods, and gift cards from local merchants - to any Newton branch of The Village Bank.
- Make tax-deductible donations to the Newton Rotary Foundation designated for the Holiday Gift Drive (either online or by check to Newton Rotary, PO Box 600057, Newton 02460), and the Rotary will use all donations to purchase gifts from local retailers Just Next Door and Henry Bear’s Park.
- Shop at either Just Next Door or Henry Bear’s Park, and drop off your gifts at the Gift Drive Donation Boxes in those stores.
Over 100 fresh baked pies were distributed on Wednesday to make a happier Thanksgiving for many in Newton who are having a tough time this year, and to our first responders who are always on duty during the holidays. Newton Police Headquarters, and every Newton fire station were recipients of a stack of pies in
appreciation for the outstanding service they provide our community. The Rotary Club of Newton, whose motto is “Service Above Self”, got the call from Marie Presti, owner of the The Presti Group realtors, and long-time Rotarian, that an extra truckload of pies was available at her office on Washington Street in Newtonville, and they leaped at the opportunity to share them. The pies were part of the “Pie In The Sky” program of Community Servings, a non-profit food and nutrition program providing services to individuals living with critical and chronic illnesses.
