United Way seeks donations to buy space heaters

Dec. 11—HIGH POINT — United Way of Greater High Point is again running its annual Gift of Warmth initiative as the holiday season approaches.

This program aims to provide space heaters to vulnerable individuals and families during the winter months.

For just $25, you can contribute to purchasing a space heater for someone in need. Additionally, you have the option to purchase an honor card in someone's name, signifying your donation of a heater in their honor.

The Gift of Warmth initiative has already begun accepting donations and honor card purchases. The deadline to purchase an honor card is the end of January. You can make contributions and purchase honor cards on UWGHP's website or visit the office at 815 Phillips Ave. in High Point.

The next heater distribution event is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 13, from 10:30 a.m.-noon at Macedonia Family Resource Center, 401 Lake Ave., while supplies last. Each recipient must be a resident of High Point, Archdale, Trinity or Jamestown and have a heating emergency. Identification is required.
