PUTNEY-Putney Community Cares is again opening "Putney Winter Cheer" to everyone in the community. This creates an opportunity for everyone who needs cheer in the community to receive a gift card from a local business.
Putney Community Cares, Putney Food Co-op, Putney General Store, and The Putney Diner will be collecting donations at their registers to go toward the purchase of gift cards from Putney businesses. Putney Community Cares will be managing the purchase and distribution of gift cards.
Those who know someone needing cheer this holiday season can fill out a form at bit.ly/PutneyWinterCheer2025 by Friday, Dec. 19. Putney Community Cares asks that forms be submitted only for those who have a true need for support.
Forms may be for a child, family member, friend, or neighbor - note the name of the person completing the form will appear with the gift card.
Putney Community Cares will be collecting donations and tallying the amount they are able to spend for each individual, and then purchase gift cards to distribute by Dec. 23.
Donations can also be made online at bit.ly/PutneyWinterCheerDonation (the link is case sensitive) and via USPS: send a check to Putney Community Cares, Attn: Putney Winter Cheer, 54 Kimball Hill, Putney, VT 05346
Putney Community Cares will not be accepting donations of toys or any other goods for this drive - only monetary donations to support the purchase of gift cards to local businesses. To learn where to donate toys or other gifts, contact Putney Community Cares at coordinator@putneycommunitycares.org.
