So often preteens and teens in lower-income families are forgotten during the holiday season. So Serendipity and United Way of Dickinson are partnering together this holiday season to ensure that local children between the ages of 12 and 17 are not forgotten. When you stop by Serendipity please donate a teen appropriate gift or gift card either from Serendipity themselves or a gift card from somewhere else. Help make a local preteen or teen’s Christmas dreams come true.

WEEK OF CARING
Monday, June 8th through Saturday, June 13, 2020
Online at https://www.facebook.com/events/680382595871269/?active_tab=about
Every year the United Way of Dickinson gives back to the community with our annual Day of Caring. Typically, each year we serve the elderly, ill, and disabled by doing yard work and house work they are not able to do; however, 2020 has proven to not be a typical year. In fact, 2020 is anything but typical and many of our volunteers are not able to volunteer in the capacity they have in previous years. But they are stepping up to volunteer in other ways as we aid our community during the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, we will be holding a “Virtual” Week of Caring. Each day will have a different opportunity for virtual volunteering. We ask you all to join us. Prizes will be given to two lucky volunteers. *You must post each day during the “Virtual” week of caring. You must post a picture of yourself doing each day’s virtual volunteer suggestion in order to be entered to win. For each virtual volunteer day completed and posted you will receive one entry to win*. Our lucky winners will win either a $50 gift card to Players Sports Bar & Grill or a $20 gift card to Serendipity and a $30 gift card to JD’s BBQ.
