Waident Technology Solutions Announces Second Annual Givemas to Support Naperville Nonprofits and Volunteers
Naperville, IL — December 4, 2025 — Waident Technology Solutions is proud to announce the return of Givemas, a growing community initiative dedicated to supporting Naperville-area nonprofits and the volunteers who power them. On Givemas, Naperville nonprofit representatives and volunteers are invited to come to the pop-up store and “shop” for free, choosing from a wide range of overstock goods from Target, Amazon, Home Depot, containing household essentials and thoughtful gifts that bring comfort and joy during the holiday season.
What is Givemas?
Givemas is an initiative dedicated to giving back to the Naperville area community. Waident is thrilled to partner with local charities and nonprofits to support the invaluable work they and their volunteer staff do by giving back to them.
This project is powered entirely by the hands and hearts of our employees: from engaging with nonprofits and setting up the pop-up store to sharing holiday decorations, dressing up as magical characters, and even unloading and driving a semi-truck from Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
Building on the success of its inaugural year, Givemas 2025 will once again transform Waident’s Naperville headquarters (1809 N. Mill St., Ste. A) into a festive pop-up shop filled with overstock and shelf-pulled merchandise purchased from major retailers such as Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. Givemas will take place on December 4.
In true Waident fashion, our team is hands-on every step of the way, from coordinating with nonprofits to unloading a semi-truck carrying more than a dozen 4×4 pallets of overstock items from Wisconsin.
The Impact of Givemas in Naperville
Last year’s Givemas brought together 12 local nonprofits, including Loaves & Fishes, KidsMatter, Indian Prairie School District, Journey’s, Community Access Naperville, Bridge Communities, and Alive Center, among others. Together, these organizations distributed over $85,000 worth of goods directly to their staff, volunteers, and community members in need. This year we are going bigger and inviting new partners.
Father Givemas - John Ahlberg
Givemas began as a simple idea to bring people together through generosity and gratitude. Seeing our office filled with community members and nonprofit leaders reminds us that technology may be our business, but people are our purpose. This year, we’re thrilled to expand Givemas and continue supporting those who make a difference every day.
