WISH 2023
Help spread joy, kindness and holiday cheer with Besa!
Since 2012, Besa has supported fixed-income seniors through its annual holiday gift drive, WISH. This year, we’ll celebrate our most impactful holiday gift drive to date, serving eight nonprofit partners and bringing gifts of joy to more than 2,000 local seniors.
Gift requests range from basic necessities (blankets and cleaning supplies) to household essentials (vacuum cleaners and microwaves) and items to enjoy (paint supplies and dog toys).
