WNC Staff Donations Brighten the Holidays for Families in Need
Thanks to the generosity of WNC staff, the holiday season was a little brighter for beneficiaries at Illumination Health + Home (IHH, formerly Illumination Foundation).
IHH is a partner of WNC affiliate, the Cooper Housing Institute, a non-profit research foundation which strives to eliminate America’s housing crisis by deepening our understanding of homelessness and the affordable housing shortage. IHH seeks to disrupt the cycle of homelessness by providing full-circle care — at IHH centers, both healthcare and housing are packaged together.
Employee donations made possible holiday backpacks filled with everyday essentials such as toiletries, towels, reusable water bottles and a gift card to a local grocery store; alongside festive touches like holiday activity books and cards. These thoughtfully packed backpacks provided both practical support and moments of joy, reflecting WNC’s shared commitment to communities during the holidays and beyond.
