Whirlpool is offering everyone a chance to scoop up some holiday gifts to benefit the United Way of Southwest Michigan with an auction starting this week. The United Way’s Jennifer Tomshack tells WSJM News the Whirlpool Corporation Community Basket Auction started December 1 and will continue through December 10. Specially decorated baskets with gifts inside are up for grabs.
“There’s all kinds of different themes,” Tomshack said. “It’s everything from experiences such as axe throwing to Christmas-related themes. Some of the baskets revolve around Whirlpool’s Gladiator products, which are really popular. Some other ones include one called Happy Hour Chill, which is a wine cooler with wine. Then there’s ones with gift cards.”
Tomshack says the proceeds will go to Whirlpool’s United Way campaign. The company has held the basket auctions for years, but only internally. This is the first year anyone can bid. You can check out the baskets at UWSM.org.
