Have you been looking for a way to give this holiday season? Our Stanwood-Camano community has a great resource to help families in need during the Christmas season. The Christmas House in Stanwood has been providing Christmas gifts for Children for many years. Last year they provided gifts for 2,275 children. Sadly, the number of families in need this year is expected to exceed that.
They run purely off donations and are still in need of items. They serve children ages newborn to 18 years old, with a heavy emphasis on the 7-18 year olds. Gift ideas include toys, pajamas, and clothing of all sizes, gift cards in the $20-25 price range, games, socks/underwear, and toiletries.
This year they are in definite need for teen boy items. They have created an Amazon wish list to help with ideas.
I am collecting donations today from 9-1 at our Camano Springs office, but can collect them anytime for you and deliver to the Christmas House. Just contact me at 425-508-0149.
Find out more information about the Christmas House on their Facebook page
If you’d like to find a way to help without shopping or donating, they are also in need of volunteers to help fulfill orders. If you would like to find out about helping with that, please call or text Crystal at 425-308-0011.
If you know of anyone that could benefit from this resource please contact the Stanwood Food Bank at (360)629-2789.
At North48, we are happy to have partnered with the Christmas House this year to help our local families in need. The greatest joy during the season is being able to give and help others. I hope you have a joyous holiday season!
