Cold weather and snow did not stop the check delivery by Netse, General Manager of Wild Oats Market, for the donations generated from the Round Up For Change December 2022 program for Williamstown Community Chest.   

We were happy to get a picture with our friends, Anna, Mary, Tom, Matt, and Margo, by the snowy sign. This past December, our guests rounded up and generated $2,614.67! These funds will be used to help the Community Chest fulfill its mission in the community. 

This organization helps many people in times of need as Netse personally shared, “Utilizing Williamstown Community Chest resources, we were able to assist a neighbor in need last month. Helping someone during a time of need comes with its own challenges. Fortunately, the community chest was there for support.”

We thank you for all your support and for making your spare change count! It really does make a difference in our community when you #shopthecoop!
