Sign up for the Dorothy Lane Market Good Neighbor Program
Dorothy Lane Market sponsors the Good Neighbor Program each year as a fundraising avenue for local non-profit organizations. $75,000 will be donated to area charities this year. Donations to each charity are based on purchases made by customers. Customers must designate a benefiting charity. To designate Hannah's Treasure Chest, sign-up at Dorothy Lane Market On-line Good Neighbor Program Sign-Up. Our Charity ID is #496. A portion of every purchase will be made to Hannah's Treasure Chest. Last year, over $150 was donated to our organization, with only 6 people designating Hannah's Treasure Chest. Our goal this year is to double our designations. The program runs from January 1st - December 31st and must be re-designated each year.
Giving Angels
Become a Giving Angel. Giving Angels is a program that individuals, organizations, groups and corporations participate in to provide gifts for a child in need during the holiday season. Hannah's Treasure Chest asks that 4 gifts be purchased for each child. We recommend that two of the gifts be items the child needs, like a coat or clothing, and that two of the gifts be fun, like toys, games or books.
Change for Children
Baby bottle banks and tennis ball cans on the counters at local stores are the collection receptacles for Hannah's Treasure Chest's Change for Children program. This program has been up and running for over 2 years and proceeds from these change cans exceeds $2,000 a year. Hannah's Treasure Chest is always looking for new locations to add our collection canisters. If you would like to place a Change for Children collection canister at your store's location please send us an Email for additional information. If you frequent one of these locations and see one of our collection cans please consider making a donation to Change for Children!
