| The Mountlake Terrace Senior Center continues to bring in gifts for our children |
At Holly House, we are thankful every day for our amazing volunteers and members of the community who bring donations for the many children we help. My Edmonds News (an online newspaper) just wrote an article about ways to emphasize thankfulness and the spirit of giving with your children during the holidays. Check out
the article for a great idea on how to do this! Included in this was to consider donating to Holly House. We are so grateful for their recognition of Holly House as being a noteworthy local non-profit!

| Kids loved helping choose toys to "fill the ship" during our 2012 Treasure Island Pirates toy drive at Walmart |
Children helping other children is a beautiful thing. We would love to hear how you get your children involved with your own family's giving to Holly House. Do you have them select toys? Are they part of a toy drive? Do they help volunteer? Please leave a comment below and share your ideas!
Our boys (8 and 6) love to gather up their toys that have been neglected recently and send them off to a new home. They also get to pick out a couple of toys at the toy store - I'm surprised how long it takes them and how much thought they put into it! This year at our school, Brier Elementary, we are doing a toy drive for Holly House and they are very excited to get people involved in their classes.
