Marblehead SPUR Seeks Holiday Cheer Drive Sponsors

MARBLEHEAD, MA —The Marblehead-based nonprofit SPUR is looking for sponsors to help with its seventh annual Holiday Cheer Drive to provide gifts for more than 600 children, as well as adults facing homelessness, in Lynn, Marblehead, Salam and Swampscott.

SPUR is seeking sponsors to go to the wishlist section of its website and select a Bundle of Cheer to support one person on the North Shore. Each wishlist consists of something they need, something to wear and something to read.

Sponsors have until Dec. 6 to finish their shopping when donations of unwrapped bundles can be dropped off at the SPUR office in Marblehead.

"While for many of us it may feel like life is returning to normal we have seen a greater need for the support the Holiday Cheer Drive provides than ever before," SPUR Director of Volunteer Engagement Bryan Lamoreau said. "The SPUR Holiday Cheer Drive is about more than giving a gift — it's about making a difference in the loves of neighbors in our community."

SPUR is a nonprofit that looks to cultivate a community of donors by making volunteerism easy and accessible. SPUR offers diverse, flexible and accessible volunteers opportunities for those of all ages geared toward delivering a tangible impact on Lynn, Marblehead, Salem and Swampscott.
