It's the Monday after a long holiday weekend. Your inbox is full of Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday emails. The coffee is doing its best. Your brain is still somewhere between leftover pie and that one question every one around the table asked: "So what have you been up to recently?"
With one quick visit to the Wish Catalog, next time that question comes up (most likely 12 more times by the time you've read this), you could have an answer that wows even the most critical second cousin twice removed:
In less than 15 minutes, you could say:
- “I helped Rosie Riveters send Rosie Labs STEM kits into local classrooms so kids can build confidence and problem solving skills.”
- “I helped Britepaths provide SNAP Gap Pantry Packs so a family of four has a month of household essentials like cleaning supplies and toothpaste.”
- “I helped Meals on Wheels of Arlington cover a week of nutritious meals for a homebound neighbor.”
- “I helped Clothesline for Arlington Kids put new coats and shoes on students waiting at the bus stop.”
- “I helped Hope for Grieving Families provide teddy bears and holiday gifts so children who have lost a parent feel remembered, comforted, and supported.”
These are just a handful of the more than 70 nonprofit wishes waiting in the Catalog. All from one place, all local, all highly tangible.
And this week, each of your gifts is doubled, up to $500 matched per wish, up to $10,000 total, thanks to a very generous gift from Mercedes Benz of Arlington and National Automobile Dealers Association.
So the next time someone asks what you have been up to, you will have more than small talk and foggy memories. You will have a list of real, local people and programs you backed in just a few minutes, with every gift stretched further by the match.
If that sounds like an answer you would be proud to give, start it here or the button below.
