Flames of Giving 25th Anniversary
“Celebrating the Winter Holidays in August”
Flames of Giving is celebrating 25 years of GIVING.
We began in 1995 providing 49 gifts for neighbors who were struggling. Twenty-five years later, this past GIVING season, we provided more than 2500+ gifts.
We have given over 20,000 gifts over the years to 50 recipient agencies. Hundreds of volunteers and almost 1,000 donors have made all this possible.
Forty-five community GIVING partnerships have been formed with schools, community organizations, synagogues, civic groups, b'nai mitzvah celebrations, mah jong and canasta groups, families and friends.
In celebration of our 25th birthday we are asking EVERYONE to help us open the door to our next 25 years of giving.

Celebrating Winter Holidays In August
Throw Your Own FoG@25 Party
Anniversary celebrations take planning. We were planning Flames of Giving’s 25th for the past couple of years.
So when COVID struck, we were devastated. But only for a few minutes. Then we realized it was a blessing in disguise.
Instead of having one mega party this August, we’re now going to have many 25th anniversary parties. And we’ll use each of these parties to tell the world why they should join our Flames of Giving Family.
Here’s how:
• To get you started, click here for your Celebrating Winter Holidays in August/Throw Your Own FoG@25 Party Planning Kit for ideas on festivities. (For more inspiration, please read Let’s Dine By Candlelight.)
• Mix and match the ideas from the Celebrating Winter Holidays in August/Throw Your Own FoG@25 Party Planning Kit. Have fun!!! Invite your friends, your neighbors, your family, or just yourself. Have guests join you virtually. Whatever you do, do it safely & enjoy.
• Then share your celebrations via social media. Use hashtags: #flamesofgiving and #onesmallgifttwohappyhearts Tell everyone about the joy and hope you bring to those in need through Flames of Giving and why they should join you as donors, volunteers or both. Please send us your photos, videos and comments to post on our blog, website and social media.
Through Flames of Giving, you ensure that every person in every home is remembered during life’s special moments. Enjoy celebrating all you have done to bring Flames of Giving to this occasion, our 25th anniversary. We should feel proud of all we have done…. TOGETHER.
Happy 25th!!
Love, Gratitude and Appreciation,
Sari
