Cheyenne’s 21st Day Of Giving, Huge Success
Cheyenne's Day of Giving was held on Friday, May 8th, with lines of cars, trucks, groups, and individuals lining up to do what they could for their community.
The Day of Giving Board is made up of representatives from the Cheyenne community. We share the responsibilities of recruiting supporting congregations and businesses, publicizing the event itself as well as the huge need for donations, organizing volunteers for the Day of Giving, and encouraging other ways to give throughout the year.
Inside the Kiwanis Community House, individual items were sorted and packaged for local charities and needy people.
The Habitat ReStore was there collecting. ReStore has a wide selection of affordable items, from paint and supplies to area rugs, furniture, and home décor. We even carry new mattresses and other purchased products to give you quality options at a fraction of the cost.
Shopping at the ReStore not only helps you save money, but it also supports a great cause. Every purchase helps fund Habitat for Humanity’s mission to build safe, affordable homes for families in our community. By shopping at the ReStore, you’re not only improving your home but helping others achieve their dream of homeownership as well!
Items to help with home care for a loved one, such as walkers, wheelchairs, and shower seats, are important. They can also be outrageously expensive. Donations of used items go a long way for those who can't afford to shop new.
Sometimes it's the simple things like this gentleman dropping off a cane.
Carloads of items drove through the line where folks waited, and volunteers unloaded for them.
Vitalant showed up with their blood bank. Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. This could be a little girl in the ICU or a mother with Stage 3 leukemia. If you’re worried about needles, don’t be—most blood donors compare the experience to a mild, split-second pinch! The entire process is very safe and very fast, and you will feel amazing knowing you potentially saved up to three people.
You don't have to wait for a day of giving to donate, and what you donate will come back to you if you should ever need it.
Blood donation is a critical, life-saving act that supports surgeries, trauma care, and chronic illness treatments, with one donation potentially saving up to three lives. As blood cannot be manufactured, consistent voluntary donations are essential to maintain a stable, safe, and immediate supply for hospitals.
