How to give back this Christmas

Want to help out? Here’s how.

The Giving tree is a great way to give back this holiday season.  The Giving Tree works by taking an ornament from the tree located in the cafeteria and purchasing a gift for that person. Turn your gifts into portable 15 and you can earn up to 9 community service hours! We’ve collected over 15,000 cans and that’s not including all the bags safeway has collected for the hungry hearts program! We also collected almost $700 during the miracle minute at the assembly.

The class who donates the most items wins a prize so make sure to encourage everyone in your 1st period to participate. Lake Stevens food Bank and Hungry Heart’s most needed items are: Canned meat, boxed meals, canned meals, hygiene items, fruit snacks, granola bars or any non perishable food items.  Not only are food drives and The Giving Tree a great way to earn prizes and community service hours, but it gives you the satisfaction of helping others in need.
