I can hardly believe that we’re now on our 4th year of the annual Chivette Holiday Drive!! With help from Chivers and Chivettes across the world, we have come together to raise over $40,000 for individuals and families that needed some extra holiday cheer. We’ve sent out clothing, food, diapers, gift cards, medical supplies, toys and so much more and given so many an extra helping hand in difficult times. None of it would have been possible without our generous donors, who year after year, come through for these families when they need it most and we’re hoping this year will be no different!!

Helping those in need through random acts of kindness is the Chiver way and every year, we kick ass and take names by showing just how much that means to our community. Knowing that we are able to take even a little bit of the weight off of the shoulders of those nominated…well, that can’t be measured in dollars…but the more we bring in, the more weight that’s lifted!

As a personal note, I want to say thank you so much to those that have donated in the past and to those donating this year. I say it every year, but there really are not enough words in the dictionary for me to express how grateful I am to every single person that helps with this fundraiser. I am typically in tears by the end of this drive…every, single, year. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be here, 4 years later and with $40k in donations sent out. I’m so overcome by the kindness and generosity of strangers. The world as of late seems to be in a state of chaos with so much anger and animosity in the air and to see so many come together to help people they’ve never met before, it really gives my soul so much hope.

So, thank you in advance to this amazing community of misfits!! You’ve never let us down in the past and the Chivettes know you’ll be here to help us again this year! Let’s crush this goal in true Chive fashion and then raise a glass on Christmas Eve to making the world 10% better!!
