GOACC Family Four Packs
GOACC Family Four Packs
OLEAN, NY - Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce is selling Family Four Packs for the holidays! Bring a donation of a toy valued at $10 or more to the Chamber office (301 N. Union St., Olean, NY) and receive your pack. The four pack includes four sets of holiday bulb necklaces and four holiday squirrel mask gaiters.
“We had purchased them for the participants in the parade this year – lit necklaces and gaiters for visibility as well as social distancing,” reported Meme K. Yanetsko, GOACC COO. “When we realized that the parade would not go on, we thought it would be a great idea to ‘sell’ these four packs for a donation of a toy for our local Toys for Tots.”
The gaiter was purchased through Ambroselli Partners, GOACC member, and are dye sublimation of the Santa Squirrel with the parade name and Olean displayed. The gaiters are made of soft, lightweight, breathable 100% polyester fabric and have a weave pattern through them for better protection versus normal cloth.
How to purchase a family four pack: Stop in the Chamber office at 301 N. Union St., Olean with your toy donation for each pack ‘purchased.’ You can also call the Chamber at 716-372-4433 for curbside delivery to your car. Or you can go online to the Chamber’s shop site: shop.oleanny.com – however, you will actually purchase them for $10/pack plus shipping and the Chamber will use the $10 donation to purchase a toy in your family’s name.
Kip Morrow, local rep for the Toys for Tots Program stated, “With the economic challenges of 2020, we’re certain that more families than ever before will need our help. Your donations today will bring the joy of Christmas and send a message of hope to the area’s less fortunate children. Past years, our army of volunteers do the magic sorting and filling about 1,600 bags of toys.”
The Toys for Tots campaign has many toy barrel boxes throughout the immediate area: Olean Public Library, Hall of Fame Barbershop, GOACC office, most discount and retail outlets, and the Cattaraugus County centers. Mr. Morrow added, “Everything donated here - toys, cash, etc. - stays here. Donate Local, Stays Local, Help Local.”
