ACT BG launches holiday programs

From ACT BG PROJECT TEAM

ACT BG is asking the community to help those in need this holiday season through their Annual Holiday Wreath Auction and Christmas Elves Program.  Everyone has the opportunity to participate in ACT BG’s projects that will benefit the Brown Bag Food Project, The Cocoon and Thayer Family Dealerships Christmas Dreams. 
 
The Annual Holiday Wreath Auction on Giving Tuesday, Nov. 30, 4:30- 6 p.m. at the Four Corners Center- 217 S. Church St., Bowling Green.  ACT BG will have a great selection of holiday wreaths on display that you can bid on during the silent auction.  This wreath auction will raise funds for the beneficiary organizations.  
Dr. Nick Peiffer, member of the BG Chamber of Commerce ACT BG Project Team  states; “It’s more than just the traditional wreaths for your front door.  There will also be wreaths decorated with lottery tickets, cash and more.  Hope you will stop by for some refreshments and check the wreaths out.”  
The Christmas Elves Program, also organized by ACT BG is underway with boxes placed throughout the community for collecting New toys, Books, Hats, Mittens, Games, Non-Perishable Food Items, Monetary Donations and Gift Cards. 
Monetary Donations can be mailed to The Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce:  217 S. Church St., Bowling Green, OH  43402.  Note Christmas Elves in the memo.
