WESTSIDE — The annual Community Christmas Card sponsored by NWA Media gives readers a chance to donate and help school districts provide basic needs. Money from the campaign will support the local districts in their efforts to help students with medical needs, food, schoolsupplies, hygiene needs, clothing and mental-health resources.

For each $2 donation, newspapers will publish a name in a full-page Community Christmas Card that will be published Christmas day in the local dailies and the week of Christmas in the company’s weekly newspapers.

Contributors can designate the school district to which they wish their donation sent. Donations must be received by noon Dec. 23 to be listed by name on the Christmas Card. Donations will be accepted through Dec. 31 and may be mailed to Community Christmas Card, Westside Eagle Observer, P.O. Box 640, Gravette, AR 72736.
