Each year, Freshwater partners with Wadsworth FISH to help provide Bear Essential Basket for individuals and families in need of emergency assistance in the Wadsworth community during the holiday season.

Gift tags will be available to pick up in the foyer beginning Sunday, November 19. Each tag has a bathroom item, cleaning product, food gift card, or personal request from a Wadsworth neighbor receiving holiday assistance.

You can also take a Paper Angel this year and return it with a prayer, drawing or note of encouragement. The Paper Angels are a great way for all ages to participate and will be included in the Christmas baskets!

All gift items and Paper Angels are due back to Freshwater by Sunday, December 3.

Please contact Wadsworth FISH at 330.336.4300 or wadsworthfish@gmail.com if you would like to adopt a family in need. You can also visit their website to learn more information.

Year-round donations of the above items are always greatly appreciated!

Wadsworth FISH is a faith-based nonprofit that provides financial assistance and compassionate support to Wadsworth neighbors in need of emergency assistance.
