Harpoon Helps Spread Holiday Cheer Gift Drive 2007

WE NEED GIFTS!!  No, not for us. They’re for the men, women, and kids at the shelters we’re decorating for the 4th Annual Harpoon Helps Spread Holiday Cheer. We thought it’d be great to be able to leave a little something extra for the folks that could use it the most during this season. Thanks to your help in 2006, Harpoon Helps donated over $3,000 in gift cards to Boston-area shelters.

Over the next few weeks Harpoon Helps will be compiling holiday wish lists from all of the shelters throughout New England that we’re decorating and we need you to help us fulfill these wish lists.  Much of the list consists of gift cards to various stores like Target and Wal-Mart.  These gift cards will enable parents in the family shelters to go out and purchase gifts for their kids – so they are able to give something that they choose. 

The list is growing day by day.  There are a lot of people out there that you could use a little (or big) pick-me-up, especially around this time of year.  We’re asking Friends of Harpoon to help us make it happen.

To make it as easy as possible, we’ve set up a gift registry at www.MyRegistry.com.  Just click on the link above, then click on “Find a Friend’s Registry” at the top of the page. Search for First Name: "Harpoon Helps", last name "Spread Holiday Cheer". The password is “HarpoonHelps.” 

If you have any specific questions about the Harpoon Helps Gift Drive or the 4th Annual Harpoon Helps Spread Holiday Cheer, email Liz and Ariana at harpoonhelps@harpoonbrewery.com.
