Persons who contribute $10 or more to a local charity in Lake or Mendocino County between now and Christmas Eve will receive a free $10 gift card from Mendo Mill.
Mike Mayfield, the president of Mendo Mill, and Richard Cooper, the president of the Mendo Lake Credit Union, jointly announced the “Gift for Givers” campaign.
The two organizations teamed up last summer to raise $168,000 for local charities in a one-month Mendo Mill Charity Challenge.
“We learned from the Mendo Mill Charity Challenge that the spirit of giving runs broad and deep among the people of our local communities, and the holiday season is an appropriate time to ask for their help,” said Mayfield.
“This is a timely appeal to the generosity of the compassionate people in this area who recognize that many individuals as well as charitable organizations are struggling in the current slow economy,” Cooper added.
Mayfield said the free gift card process is simple and easy. “From now until Christmas Eve, just bring the receipt from your charitable contribution to any Mendo Mill store. Our cashiers will issue a free $10 gift card, no purchase necessary, limit one card per individual, and we will keep the name of the charity confidential.”
He added, “The $10 card may be used by the individual who has made the charitable contribution or may be donated to that person’s favorite charity.”
Cooper said that posters announcing the campaign will be displayed in the Credit Union’s offices in Ukiah, Fort Bragg and Lakeport, and cashiers will begin handing out reminders Nov. 16.
“We want to give this campaign maximum visibility from now until Christmas Eve” said Cooper, adding “All of our personnel are enthusiastically involved in the effort and will have complete information for our customers.”
Mayfield said posters will be displayed at the Mendo Mill stores in Ukiah, Fort Bragg, Clearlake and Willits and cashiers begin handing out information Nov. 16.
