Fund Drive and WCCF Gives Day to Coincide in 2015
We’ll be sending out our fund drive letter early this year with information about WCCF Gives Day. This is an excellent opportunity to make your donation to your library count for even more. On WCCF Gives Day, September 9th, each donation you make to the library by credit card or by check will be increased by a percentage of a bonus pool estimated to be at least $100,000 by the Washington County Community Foundation. The minimum contribution is only $25, but donors are welcome to give as much and to as many charities as they would like during WCCF Gives. We’ll give you more information as it becomes available to us.
