Debuting TODAY and for the first time ever, our PNA Business Group is offering an easy way to support all of your favorite local businesses: the PhinneyWood Gift Card! Great to give as a gift, the PhinneyWood Gift Card allows you to make purchases at any of the 20+ participating businesses. New businesses are joining the program every day, so there’s a lot of eateries, shops, and experiences waiting for you!
It’s easy to use and works just like any gift card. Purchase the PhinneyWood Gift Card online, then write a personal message and gift it via email, text, or by printing a copy. By creating a new program that keeps local dollars local, we are supporting local businesses while reducing the carbon footprint of local spending.

Mission Moments
Our fantastic Greenwood Senior Center team and volunteers got into the Thanksgiving spirit last week and served a delicious lunch to more than 100 older adults through delivery and pick up. We hope that your holiday weekend was warm and delicious!
Our Whittier Kids Program 5th Annual Fall Break Turkey Trot was good exercise for a great cause! Instead of receiving individual prizes, the kids ran laps to provide warm clothing for our Hot Meal Program participants. They pledged $1 per lap to help provide warm socks and other clothing to our Hot Meal Program. Cumulatively, they ran 461 laps! Thank you Whittier Kids kiddos!
