Thanks to our donors and volunteers, we were able to make the holidays brighter for over 400 children and seniors this holiday season!
Its No Small Feat Providing for Over 400 People
Our volunteers went all out in December to provide gifts and food to over 400 children and elderly in need. Countless hours were spent gathering, sorting, assembling and delivering joy to those we serve from Monroe to Othello and several towns in between:
Monroe-provided excess, close to expiration food to another outreach program.
Sultan-Operation Full Bellies children and seniors received special food donations as well as jumbo sized gift bags filled with toys, presents, treats and personal items.
Supporting those who go out of their way to support us; we also filled and delivered these jumbo bags to the teens at the Sky Valley Youth Coalition VOA.
Gold Bar-Partnering with Mountain Valley Chapel we helped to provide Christmas to over 100 children in need in town-toys, new pajamas, slippers, blankets and even household gifts for their families.
Skykomish-Joining up once again with Skykomish Food Harvest we helped to provide Christmas to the children up there. New toys, stockings and teen gifts were shared with nearly 100 children in the Upper Valley.
Wenatchee-Teaming up with a program that helps families transition from homelessness to housing we were able to provide new household items and toys to their children and families.
Othello-Assisting our outreach partner, Agape Food Ministries; we provided the ability for them to reach out to an additional 100 children with a new toy this Christmas and special treats for the 100 low income preschoolers we feed year round.
We would like to offer a special thank you to our generous donor stores who allowed us to bless so many this Christmas: Les Schwab, Costco, Walmart and Grocery Outlet.
Thank you also to those of you who were able to help us with special Operation Santa offerings to fill in the gift gaps.
Happy New Year to you All! We are looking forward to serving those in need, as we have since 2009!
