Walter Stewart's Holiday "T-Bill" charity drive

WALTER STEWART'S HOLDS ANNUAL HOLIDAY TBILL FUNDRAISING DRIVE

Walter Stewart's is holding its annual Holiday T-Bill Donation Days fundraising drive from Sunday December 12th through December 18th. Shoppers are invited to donate their T-Bill balances to the participating local charity of their choice.

Walter Stewart's raised $3458.80 for local charities during last year's Holiday Donation Days drive, as well as $1500 for local organizations in October's drive and teamed up with the Young Women's League again this year to donate over 100 Thanksgiving dinners to Person-to-Person, which distributed the meals to local families in need.

Alex Stewart, the general manager of Walter Stewart's and great-grandson of the founder, estimates that since R. Bailey Stewart created the T-Bill Donation Days program over 25 years ago the store has raised close to $200,000 for local charities.

A list of the participating non-profits will be posted at each customer check-out. Shoppers who would like to participate in the Donation Days program may obtain a courtesy card from the store's customer service staff.
