Monson, MA — November 22, 2021 — The holidays just got a little brighter for one local nonprofit. Travelnitch, an organization headquartered in Monson, just received a $250 community grant from Walmart Springfield. This funding supports the launch of their World on Wheels (WoW) program—a mobile market engaging visitors through story time around the world, travel-inspired crafts, and the sale of discounted travel books and games.

According to Amanda Renna, CEO at Travelnitch, “The World on Wheels is not just a retail shop. It's a place where families can find inspiration for their next big adventure or spend time exploring the world together through hands-on learning.” Additionally, a portion of all proceeds will support the donation of WoW products to kids living in underserved communities across Western Massachusetts.

Walmart is in good company, joining VIPs (Very Important Partners) like the National Military Family Association and Monson Savings Bank. If your family has a passion for travel, consider a gift to support this innovative program. Donors who give $100+ will be prominently displayed on the World on Wheels for all to see. As a 501(c)(3) public charity, donations are 100% tax-deductible. For more information, visit: wow.travelnitch.org.

Travelnitch is a registered 501(c)(3) inspiring kids through virtual and real-world travel. We believe it has the power to change lives, open minds, and build a stronger sense of community.
