Vancouver, WA – YWCA Clark County is excited to announce a partnership with seven local McDonald’s restaurants for their first Christmas in July in support of their annual Holiday Shop. Beginning Monday, July 23rd through August 6th seven McDonald’s restaurants will each host a multicultural toy drive with all proceeds benefiting YWCA Clark County families.
Last year 465 individuals in our community-received gifts through YWCA’s annual Holiday Shop and with the support of Clark County they look to reach even more families. “364 days out of the year we are in the business of providing hope” says Brittini Lasseigne, Director of Philanthropy at YWCA Clark County. “One day a year we get to be in the business of providing joy! We are thrilled to partner with McDonald’s and have the opportunity to spread more joy in our community.”
Because of the dedication of the Clark County community, YWCA Clark County has been able to offer Holiday Shop every year since December 2004. Stop by one of the participating McDonalds below to treat yourself and your community.
