The holiday season is a time for joy, connection, and giving. Starting today, November 20, Wellpoint Care Network is thrilled to host the United Way’s Holiday Giving Tree Program in partnership with Alderman Lamont Westmoreland and Bunzel’s Meats. ?? From today, November 20 through December 4, visit Wellpoint at 8901 W. Capitol Dr. between 8:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. to select a gift tag. Each tag represents a wish from someone in our community who may otherwise go without a holiday gift. After selecting a tag, purchase the gift and return it to us so we can help deliver holiday cheer. ?? “This initiative reminds me of visiting the giving tree with my parents as a child,” Alderman Westmoreland shared. “It’s about uplifting others and creating a brighter community.” Join us in spreading the joy of the season! ?? #HolidayGiving #CommunityImpact #WellpointCareNetwork #UnitedWay
