Centennial Celebration engages nonprofits, donors with “Giving is Golden”
The City of Lewisville is launching a way for residents to support their neighbors in need as part of its Centennial Celebration in 2025.
“Giving is Golden” will include four collection drives supporting local nonprofits that provide valuable support services to area residents. Each drive will encourage donations of specific item types that are most needed by one or more agencies. The goal of the program is to gather 2,025 units of that item during each collection window.
The four scheduled drives will happen in February, April, June, and August, and will benefit eight nonprofit service providers. A fifth drive is being considered for October. The current collection programs and the requested item of need are:
- February – MetroRelief – Tube socks (no ankle socks)
- April – Christian Community Action (CCA), Journey to Dream, and Communities in Schools of North Texas (CISNT) – Paper towels, toilet paper, feminine hygiene products, toothpaste, and shampoo, and Children’s Advocacy Center of North Texas – full size bath items, shampoo/conditioner, body wash, and deodorant
- June – Serve Lewisville – Office supplies and cleaning supplies
- August – Book Drive for Kids, PediPlace, and Health Services of North Texas (HSNT) – new or gently used children’s books, diapers, and baby wipes
To make it easy for residents to donate, collection sites would be set up at multiple locations around the City
- Lewisville City Hall, 151 W. Church Street
- Lewisville Visitor Information Center, 247 W. Main Street
- Thrive, 1950 S. Valley Parkway
- Lewisville Public Library, 1197 W. Main Street
- Lewisville Grand Theater, 100 N. Charles Street.
Collections also will be held during some City-sponsored festivals and events, including ColorPalooza and Sounds of Lewisville.
