Socks and underwear shortage

As the boxes are being unpacked and sorted at the Holly House event today, we discovered we are very short about 400 pairs NEW socks and underwear for our children. If you want to drop by and bring some, please do! We are at the Meadowdale Middle School gym until 11pm today, and you can even bring them tomorrow during our event.



Stay and volunteer some time, or just drop them off - it will be much appreciated!

Many thanks to our volunteers and local restaurants (like Red Lobster and Urban City Coffee yesterday) for keeping those volunteers fueled this weekend.

Beginning set up (Friday afternoon)

There's lots more to do, and less than 24 hours to go!

Partnering with Wells Fargo

Sarah Darrah (Wells Fargo Store Manager) and Rakhi Samant (Wells Fargo District Manager) are presenting the pony named Shamrock to CJ Gray (Cedar Valley Principal),  Allison Kaufman (Cedar Valley office Manager), Nancy Sutherland (Edmonds School District Nurse), and Taira Rink (one of the 3rd Grade Teachers at Cedar Valley Community School).

Holly House has some wonderful partners who help us along our journey, and Wells Fargo is one of them. Recently, they donated a large stuffed pony to us, and we wanted to find the best home for him. We reached out to Cedar Valley Elementary (one of the 15 schools we support), and came up with a way to get him to a deserving student.

The folks from Wells Fargo met with Cedar Valley staff a couple of weeks ago and presented them with the pony. The school is going to use it as an incentive for an academic program.

Even Shamrock the pony has 12th man spirit!

We are happy to be able to connect these two very important organizations together, and thank Wells Fargo for their generous and ongoing support.

Look how they have involved Shamrock in their school spirit already!
