Holly Twig’s mission is to raise funds that are donated to St. Barnabas/Community Medical Center to help fulfill “wish list” requests from various hospital departments. These are important needs that fall outside the hospital’s regular operating budget. Each department may submit a request for items valued up to $5,000.
For 53 years, Holly Twig has worked tirelessly throughout the year to make these wishes a reality. Your continued support and generosity make it possible for us to provide these much-needed items and make a meaningful difference for patients, families, and hospital staff.
We are proud of our 53-year tradition of giving back, and we are grateful to everyone who supports Holly Twig and helps us continue this important mission.
Boscov’s Friends Helping Friends Discount Shopping Pass is now available for a donation of $5, and we know this is always a fun day of shopping. This year the date of Boscov’s Friends Helping Friends is October 21st. The shopping pass can be used in the store and on line. In many departments such as clothing, shoes, jewelry, and more the discount is 25%. In small appliances and a few other departments the discount is 15%. There is also a chance to win a $100 gift certificate. This is a great way to do holiday shopping for others, or just get treats for you!
November 10th, we will be returning to the hospital with our Annual Holiday Boutique and Bake Sale. There will be the usual wide variety of homemade baked goods and lovely handmade and new items. The staff and visitors are always enjoy the wonderful morning of shopping.
The $500 Visa Gift Card raffle tickets are on sale now. The drawing is November 10th. This is always a sell-out. To quote one of our members, “All you need is $5 and dream.” You must be in it to win it, so be sure to get your ticket before we run out.
Our ongoing fundraising effort is our partnership with Second Time Around, located at 200 Corporate Circle, Toms River, creating a true win-win opportunity. We gladly accept seasonal new or gently used items, which are consigned under Holly Twig’s account. These donations can now be winter clothing with their size tags still in place or housewares that are in the original box. It’s a wonderful shop filled with hidden treasures—you never know what you might find!
Holly Twig welcomes like-minded women with energy, creativity, and a passion for fundraising to support our hospital. Members are encouraged to participate in our events, share new ideas, and take active roles in our organization. The group meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 9:30 a.m. at Clubhouse 1 in Holiday City Berkeley. Meetings begin with coffee and conversation, often followed by an engaging program before our business session.
We also continue to collect donations of new, soft yarn. Our talented members use these materials year-round to create baby hats for newborns, as well as chemo hats, shawls, and lap blankets for patients in the oncology department.
