Wrap gifts for children in need!

ORGANIZATION: Communities In Schools of Tacoma

Description

Winter Wish is a program that supports around 350 children and families who are experiencing homelessness or housing instability by providing warm coats, blankets, pajamas and other cold-weather necessities during the holiday season. Families are invited to attend a celebration event to enjoy food, festive activities, and get a picture with Santa!

We are in need of volunteers on December 16th to help us prepare and wrap gifts ahead of time. The time is flexible, beginning at 8am and ending at 4pm, and would be on a drop-in basis.

Check out last year's video to see the smiling faces of all those that are impacted by this event, and please join us in making the season a little brighter for families in need this year!
