Assist Bay Village residents in need this holiday season

The Bay Village Community Services Department has kicked off its annual Holiday Caring and Sharing and Adopt-a-Family programs, which help support Bay Village residents who are having financial difficulty during the holiday season.

Bay residents who would like to contribute to the Holiday Caring and Sharing program may make donations of:

• Non-perishable food items
• Paper products
• Cleaning supplies
• Personal care items
• Cash donations (for emergency assistance)
• Gift cards

Individuals, families and organizations may also participate in the Adopt-a-Family program by buying gifts for an assigned family. Each family that applies completes a wish list for each member of the family to help guide the adopters.

Donations may be dropped off by Dec. 10 at the Dwyer Senior Center, located at 300 Bryson Lane in Bay Village. For any questions, or to adopt a family, please call the Community Services Department at 440-899-3409.
