Our Mission:
The Latest at CWW
A great 2020 Holiday season
With your support this holiday season, CWW was able to bring cheer, help, and love to local foster families throughout a notably difficult holiday season. WIth over $74,000 of donated goods distributed and an outdoor Santapalooza event that had the big red man himself taking notes, we at Connect With a Wish cannot thank you and our supporters enough for showing up in a new way to make this holiday season a home run!
Activity Bags
In February, we will be making activity bags to help our foster youth stay occupied at home throughout the pandemic. Consider helping us from home by perusing our AmazonSmile wish list. We're requesting fun and helpful items on there to fill our bags*.
​
*As part of our COVID-19 precautions, we cannot accept used donations of any sort at this time. We're sorry to disappoint!
