Parents at Leschi Elementary have organized an Adopt-a-Family program this year, helping to provide gifts to eighteen disadvantaged families at the school this holiday season.
They’ve put out a call to the community for gift donations to help make sure the program is a success, asking for things ranging from books and toys to clothing and other basic items.
The goal is to get all gifts and gift-cards together by the end of the day this Friday, 12/17, in time for the Giving Garland event on Monday. Donations can be dropped off at the school’s main office, located at 31st & Yesler.
Do they have specific needs/requests? kids ages?
thanks!
