Fundraising

As a non-profit organization, our center really benefits from fundraising and donations from our kind community. We participate in various fundraising campaigns throughout the year as a way to connect with our community and spread the word about the work we're doing here at Weston.

Learn how you can help our cause below:

United Way Campaign

United Way donations can be made to the center. Please tell your family and friends working in Delaware to designate the HOWARD WESTON SENIOR CENTER as the recipient of their United Way donation. WESTON'S UNITED WAY number is 9336.

If someone is already a contributor, it is easy for them to change their designation to Weston by calling the Donor Choice Coordinator at 1-866-892-9335 or 302-573-3200 and giving them our number (9336). See Sandy if you have questions or need more information.

Tabs

Goodbye Pop Tabs

As our Spoonful of Hope and Lunches with Love programs grow, we’re constantly evaluating how to best serve our families. As we refine our efforts, we’re prioritizing programs that have a high impact on families with sick children. Because of this, we have made the decision to retire our pop tab program starting 

January 1st, 2025. We will be accepting pop tab donations 

until December 31st, 2024.

We understand that many have enjoyed collecting tabs over the years and that this has been a beloved fundraiser for our community. We are incredibly grateful for your longstanding dedication to this program and we hope that you’ll explore other ways to continue your support of vital initiatives to help families in need.

. What you can do:

Last Call for Pop Tabs: To ensure a smooth transition, we’ll be accepting pop tab donations until the end of the year. This gives you time to wrap up any fundraisers and drop off your collected tabs. You can bring them to 1901 Rockland Rd., Wilmington, DE 19803 any day between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m.

Ink Cartridges  

Thanks to everyone who donates their used ink cartridges to the center. We use them to earn credits for purchases that will benefit the center. Your donations are helping to reduce our supply costs. Keep them coming!

Gift Cards

Gift cards are an easy and fun way to celebrate birthdays, holidays or just to say thank you to a friend. Whether it’s a $10 Starbucks gift card, a $20 Amazon gift card, or a $10 gift card to use at their favorite lunch spot. They are always the right color and size! 

The best thing about buying gift cards from us is that you buy gift cards at face value, your family & friends get the full-value gift card, and Weston gets earnings—at no extra cost to you or Weston. 

If you’d like to order gift cards from Weston, simply browse the order form in this newsletter to see brands to choose from, fill out the form, and drop it off with your payment at the front desk. We’ll order the gift cards for you and contact you when they arrive. Turn around time should be approximately 1 week. We will be placing orders once a month. 

Thank you to all of you who have helped make this fundraiser such a great success.
