The Milwood Neighborhood Association has two exciting holiday events going on and we hope you’ll join us in spreading some holiday cheer.
Holiday House Lighting Contest!
Once again, the Neighborhood Association is hosting its Holiday Lighting Contest. The best lit house in Milwood will receive a $25 gift card from the Home Depot.
Over the next two weeks we will scour the neighborhood looking for the best house lighting Milwood has to offer. If you have a house you would like to nominate, please send us the address at mnaboard@milwoodna.com. All submissions are due by December 15th. We will post pictures of the top houses in Milwood on www.milwoodna.com . Once they are posted, you can drive or walk through the neighborhood and send us an email at mnaboard@milwoodna.com with your favorite (one vote per household!).
Voting will close December 19th and the winner will be announced on the website the evening of December 20th. We look forward to seeing everyone’s bright and creative decorations!
Holiday Food Drive benefitting Caritas of Austin!
In cooperation with Summitt Elementary, we’re also hosting a Supply Drive for those in need in our community. The drive will run from December 3rd – 17th.
Canned food, baby supplies, hygiene items, and cleaning supplies are just a few of the basic items that many in our community are going without this year. Please help us provide for those less fortunate than us by offering a donation to this worthy cause. Full lists of items needed can be found on the collection bins at Summitt Elementary, at the Texan Market, and inside the Milwood Public Library. All donations will benefit Caritas of Austin, an organization which provides a continuum for those experiencing poverty that begins with a safety net and links them to resources to achieve self-sufficiency.
Thanks in advance for your generosity and for helping both Milwood and Summit support this great cause.
