WYN Holiday Cards are Here!

What better way to say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy New Year than with the artwork of a WYN kid! 

All images on the front of the cards are the artwork of students who participate in Western Youth Network’s After School Program. The cards were created with materials from Brushes for Vincent -- "keeping the arts alive" (brushesforvincent.org). Photography of artwork is courtesy of Charlie Hill.

Each card costs $2 or you can purchase a pack of five cards for $8 or 10 cards for $15 (costs do not include shipping). All proceeds will benefit WYN's programs to provide youth with tools to succeed.

You can also send a gift to a friend or loved one by making a donation to WYN in that person's honor, and we will send one of the unique holiday cards to the recipient, highlighting that the gift is from you and in their honor. 

The most meaningful gift we can give this holiday season is a better future for our youth.

To purchase cards or to make a gift in someone's honor, please contact Faith Motter at motterf@westernyouthnetwork.org or call 828.264.5174.

Giving Tuesday: spending with a purpose

Just as Black Friday and Cyber Monday are days dedicated towards holiday shopping -- Giving Tuesday is a day dedicated towards charitable giving.

Tuesday, December 2nd is a global day of giving that inspires community members to take action and support their local charities. Giving Tuesday reminds us that the true spirit of the holiday season is making the world a better place for all.

Western Youth Network would like to encourage you on December 2nd to consider making a financial gift to support our very important programs for youth in the High Country. 

You can make a donation and/or send a gift to a friend or loved one by making a donation to WYN in that person's honor. We will send a unique holiday card crafted by a WYN kid to the recipient, highlighting that the gift is from you and in their honor. 

The most meaningful gift we can give is a better future for our youth.
