Celebrating Thanksgiving with Heartfelt Donations at WWCCC

At WWCCC, we believe in the power of community and the joy of giving.
This Thanksgiving, we had the incredible opportunity to spread happiness and gratitude among our newcomer clients through a special raffle event. Thanks to the generous donations we received, we were able to raffle off over 70 Coach bags and Stewart Weitzman shoes, bringing smiles and surprises to many faces.

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on our blessings and extend a helping hand to those around us. This year, we were overwhelmed by the kindness of our donors who contributed high-quality items that made a significant impact. The Coach bags and Stewart Weitzman shoes were not just gifts; they were symbols of welcome and appreciation for our clients who are starting new chapters in their lives.

The excitement was palpable when we went to each class for the raffle. Each ticket held the promise of a beautiful surprise, and the atmosphere was filled with anticipation. When the winners were announced, the joy and gratitude were evident. Many of our clients were thrilled and pleasantly surprised to receive such valuable gifts, which added a touch of luxury to their Thanksgiving celebrations.

The impact of these donations goes beyond the material value. For our newcomer clients, receiving these gifts was a gesture of support and encouragement. It showed them that they are valued members of our community and that we are here to support them in their journey. The smiles and heartfelt thanks we received in return were the greatest rewards.

We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who made this event possible. Your generosity has made a meaningful difference in the lives of our clients. As we continue to support our community, we are reminded of the importance of coming together and sharing our blessings.

This Thanksgiving, let’s continue to spread kindness and joy.
Together, we can make every day a little brighter for those around us.

Our hearts are with the victims, their families, and the entire Filipino community. No one should ever feel unsafe. We condemn violence in all its forms and reaffirm our commitment to fostering a community rooted in respect, safety, and solidarity. We offer our sincerest condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims.  Let’s continue to uplift and support one another.
