Giving and Volunteer Opportunities

Put that cookie down! We need volunteers!! 

Thank you so much for continuing to support Happy Wheels! The holiday season is upon us and we are excited! Many of you ask about ways to volunteer and we are thrilled to be able to offer lots of opportunities during the holidays! Please consider including Happy Wheels in your holiday plans this season! 

First on the list is the Holiday Book Drive at Barnes and Noble! Starting November 1st through January 7th, you can purchase books at the register which will be donated directly to Happy Wheels. Both Greenville locations are participating on behalf of Happy Wheels.  B&N on Woodruff Road is also hosting a Book Fair for us on Black Friday.  On this day, a portion of ALL PURCHASES will also be donated to Happy Wheels!!!!!  Wow!  Please pass this information along to others!

MOST IMPORTANTLY! Gift wrapping volunteer shifts will begin Friday, November 25th (Black Friday). We have 56 volunteer spaces to fill! Details and link to sign up below. 

Finally, Giving Tuesday is November 29th!  Giving Tuesday is a social media phenomenon aimed at giving back to local non-profits within your own community.  One day each year (post Black Friday and Cyber Monday), Giving Tuesday is designated for charitable donations nationwide.  Here's what we'd love to see...
  • Donate to Happy Wheels via our website at  www.HappyWheelsInc.org
  • Change your Facebook cover photo to the Giving Tuesday image above. The image can also be found on our social media pages.
  • Share with your friends on your social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook) using the hashtags #givingtuesday #happywheels and #givetillithurts 
Even the smallest of donations, when multiplied by many, are a great help to Happy Wheels.  Please help us by sharing on your pages!
