In the third year of Amplify Wilco Day from Austin nonprofit I Live Here I Give Here, $1.4 million was raised for the 103 participating nonprofits throughout the county. Williamson County nonprofits made up 14 percent of nonprofit participation this year, according to I Live Here I Give Here.
Stationed in front of the Williamson County Sun’s office were A Gift of Time’s Carolina Umana, Executive Director Becky Folta-May and Mary Odom. The nonprofit gave out candy and had small activities for guests who stopped by to learn about their mission: serving those with mild to moderate dementia and their family members by providing respite opportunities, support and resources in Georgetown. For more information about A Gift of Time, contact Folta-May at 512-489-0160 or becky@agiftoftimegeorgetown.org.
