Homebuilder Kicks off Annual Not-So-Random Acts of Kindness Charity Drive

By: admin - December 20th, 2011  Filed under: Toys For Holiday Add Comment


Uniontown, OH (PRWEB) December 09, 2011

Every year at this time Wayne Homes brings the community together and makes the holidays brighter for those in need. The homebuilder calls it, ?Not-So-Random Acts of Kindness.? And the idea is to help a variety of charities in Ohio and Pittsburgh by getting everyone involved: homebuyers, Wayne Homes employees and trade partners; and the general public.

?The slow-moving economic recovery is why, more than ever, people need to pitch in and help local charities,? says Bill Post, Wayne Homes Principal and Chief Operating Officer. ?So we just try to make it easier for people to help their fellow humans.?

Each Wayne Homes Model Center becomes a drop-off point for contributions to a selected local charity. Depending on the charity, the public is encouraged to bring everything from clothing and food to school supplies and hygienic products.

The charities benefitting from this year?s drive include The Battered Women?s Shelter of Summit and Medina Counties, Ashland County Toys for Tots, Erie County Children?s Services, Portage County Toys for Tots, The YES Club, Alicia?s Voice, and the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.

?You?d be surprised how many people really want to contribute,? says Post, ?By giving people central drop-off locations and detailed instructions on what to bring, it makes the whole process painless and even fun.?

Wayne customers get into the action simply by buying a home, something they wanted to do anyway. Wayne makes a $ 100 contribution to the buyer?s charity of choice when the customer signs a contract before the end of the year.

This year, in addition to the annual intra-corporate-office competition to raise money for charity, the departments are engaged in a fierce food-donation-box decorating contest. Holiday box photos can be found on Wayne Homes? Facebook page and ?like? votes will determine the winner. Voting is open to everyone. The winners get pizza.

?Decorating the food collection boxes is just a fun way to get people excited about the food-drive,? says Maurie Jones, Wayne Homes? Marketing Vice President. ?And help get the word out.?

Meanwhile these festive boxes, and many others, are filling with non-perishable food to support OPEN M, the Opportunity for People Everywhere in Need Ministry. OPEN M is a faith-based non-profit that helps people in the Akron area living with minimal resources.

OPEN M?s goal is to collect 2,350 food items: cans of beef stew, peas, pork-and-beans; jars of spaghetti sauce, peanut butter and jelly; packages of hamburger helper, rice dinners, pasta; and staples like bags of sugar and vegetable oil.

Wayne hopes to help them get there.

Information on Model Home Center drop-off locations can be found at WayneHomes.com/not-so-random-acts.

Tej Kohli Hosting Annual Costa Rica Charity

By: admin - December 13th, 2011  Filed under: Toys For Holiday Add Comment

San Jose, Costa Rica (PRWEB) December 04, 2011

International investor Tej Kohli is set to host the long-running Christmas gala for his charitable foundation to benefit disadvantaged children and families in Los Guido in Desamparados with gifts of nutrition and education.

Every year, the FundaKohli S.A. builds upon its tradition of serving healthy meals to children and expecting mothers by expanding its reach. Last year?s efforts brought savory meals to 250 children and 25 expectant mothers under the age of 18 at the Church in Los Guido under the direction of Father Reiner Castor.

?Nothing compares to the feeling of giving,? Mr. Kohli said. ?Our goal is to continue and expand on our tradition of philanthropy until no child left in need during the holidays.?

FundaKohli S.A. also contributes to the lives of disadvantaged children throughout the year with donations of necessary items for hygiene such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and soap.

While the majority of children whose families cannot afford to pay for school supplies are forced to relinquish their goals towards education, FundaKohli S.A. fights for their dreams with donations of school supplies at the beginning of the every school year.

?Education is the most valuable tool we can offer children who are the future of our world,? Kohli said.

In previous years the Kohli family has extended the scope of their generosity to benefit often ignored rural areas such as the small village of Turrialba.

The FundaKohli regularly hosts children?s parties in Turrialba where attendees enjoyed a hearty feast that even included treats like ice cream, cake and soda. Each child also received a personalized gift and baskets of food staples for their entire family.

FundaKohli is dedicated to continue to host annual charity events in rural areas like Turrialba and Los Guidos for disadvantaged children and families. The organization?s representatives have gone above and beyond for the goodwill of the less fortunate, often hand delivering food to the homes of those unable to attend the events.

This year, the party will once again focus on sharing the joy of Christmas by giving gifts of toys, food packages, games and a visit from Santa Claus for an event never to be forgotten by participating children and adults throughout the year.
