Colonial Village at Hampton Pointe
Week 3 brought the return of community fundraisers that were postponed in 2020 due to the pandemic. Everyone was very excited to get back to the business of supporting Open Arms! MAA community teams and residents, as well as many generous vendors, participated in a wide range of events, such as candy apple sales, GotSneakers shoe recycling drives, silent auctions, 5k races and more! The final week of October was all about the ways to give back to Open Arms while shopping. Supporters were informed about how to use AmazonSmile.com or Kroger Community Rewards to earn donation dollars for the Open Arms Foundation. In October alone, 546 purchases were made through AmazonSmile, and 601 total customers were signed up to support Open Arms through the platform. Programs like these, also known as passive fundraisers, bring consistent financial support to Open Arms throughout the year and don’t cost the shoppers anything additional.
As October came to an end, so did our beloved month-long event, but many heartfelt memories were made. MAA teams used their spark and competitive edge to help raise close to $60,000 throughout the month while also juggling their responsibilities. Open Arms thanks all who participated in the 5th Annual Open Arms October and looks forward to doing it again in 2022!
