ODC Extraordinary Give Party!

Friday, November 20 from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

The Extraordinary Give is back, and we are throwing a party!

The Extraordinary Give is Lancaster’s 24-hour online day of giving on Friday, November 20. You can make a donation anytime that day to support the Occupational Development Center, as well as many of the other non-profits in our area.

And once again we will be having a party across the street at the Club Room in the Lofts at Stehli Silk Mill, located at 701 Martha Avenue. We will be there from 12 noon to 8 p.m. that day. The entrance we will be using is directly across from our loading dock area on Martha Avenue. Just be on the look out for our party sign and Food Truck Freddy!

We will have a community art project/photo booth, as well as the chance for you to make your own Christmas ornaments. We’ll also have games and more.

Plus, from 4:30 to 8:00 p.m. we will be throwing a Pizza Party! Drop in for free pizza as well as free beer from Pour Man’s Brewing and free lemonade from OBX Lemonade.

And you’ll have the chance to make a donation to the ODC to help us with our upcoming roof and rennovation project.

Your Gift Will be Matched!

Once again we have TWO mathing gift funds that will double your donation immediately.

An anonymous donor has given us $10,000 in memory of the Mearig family, to help us kick off the giving. For every dollar you give to us at the ExtraGive, it will be matched by the Mearig Match, up to $10,000! And, longtime supporter Bill McNickle is giving us a $5,000 match in memory of his brother Bobby, who was a Participant at the ODC for 38 years! Bill and Bobby’s parents were actively involved in the ODC (and it’s predecessor, the Child Development Center) as far back as the mid-1950’s, even BEFORE Bobby was working here!

So the first $15,000 we make from YOUR donations, will be matched, dollar for dollar!

Help us out with a donation that day and stop on by and hang out with us at the Silk Mill!
