WGOLV (What's going on in the Lehigh Valley) is a cause to help the Lehigh Valley community. Your donations are greatly appreciated so that we can continue providing you news, events, weather, traffic, breaking news, and so much more—plus crowdfunding for families in need, help our animal rescues, first responders, missing persons and pets—recalls, safety alerts, and much more.
What's going on in the Lehigh Valley is mom-owned and run for nearly 15 years. WGOLV is not backed by corporations or big donors - it's run via community support - donations, and advertising only. It's an independent news publication with a cause to help the community.
Each dollar helps go towards website expenses, gas, and time daily, providing this and the What's going on in the Lehigh Valley Facebook page, helping to answer questions, attend events, and go live at events, fundraisers, and press conferences for the community to enjoy. I also set up snow angels in the winter to help the disabled and veterans.
You may also give monthly if you so desire to help the ongoing efforts of What's going on in the Lehigh Valley so that we can continue to help the community. Donations have been basically pretty much at a standstill the last few years, making it very difficult to stay in business. Watch for upcoming fundraisers to help pay for website costs, web designers, and other needs to remain in business. Bus trips will be announced. You can also sign up for health and fitness classes - another way to support What's going on in the Lehigh Valley - attend events, music shows - have us go live at your Grand Openings etc..
Your support means so much to me so I can continue this in the community! It takes a great deal of time doing this daily, and income. I want to continue this in the community. The past few years I basically received no donations, and if any only a handful total.
Thank you!!
