Good Will Abounds In Broadway District

Holiday Helping and Good Will abound in the Broadway District this holiday season. As times get tough for many, many Broadway District businesses are stepping up. They say the lights are bright on Broadway; it’s clear the hearts are too. Here’s a few ways the businesses are helping:

Win a Gift Basket. Bring a non-perishable food items to any participating Broadway District businesses and customers will be entered into a drawing for one of two gift baskets filled with products from the businesses. And the really cool part is that for each food items brought in, customers can enter the drawing. In other words, bring in three cans, enter the drawing three times! Participants include The Gift Itself (125 N. Broadway), Sassy Girl (107 N. Broadway), Besselli (201 N. Broadway), Monzú Bistro and Custom Cakes (154 N. Broadway), Kavarna (112 S. Broadway), Green Bay Net (126 S. Broadway), Red Awning (119 N. Broadway) and The Urban Frog (163 N. Broadway). Food goes to Paul’s Pantry.

The idea started with Michelle Zjala Winter at The Gift Itself. “I was listening to WPR the other morning and the food pantries are having a hard time keeping their shelves stocked, and I thought of how the Broadway businesses could help. It’s a perfect fit—shop local, dine local and help our local food bank!”

For more information on the gift basket, contact Michelle Zjala Winter or Allen Buch at 920-433-9171.
