We’ve always known that ESD staff are a generous bunch, but it still never ceases to amaze us how the wonderful people at this agency come together for families in need!
Holiday Gift Drive for Families Served by ESD Programs
The holidays will be a bit brighter for 14 families in need this year, thanks to staff generosity. In total, ESD Connects collected:
- $1,250 in gift cards
- Over 200 individual items
The cubicle looked like it was full of Santa’s sacks as we waited for families to pick up their items!
Julie Feldman in the ESIT/B-3 program writes:

Thank you to Tyler Wright and Cari Wood for your coordination work for this annual gift drive.
PCAP Toy & Gift Drive
This holiday giving opportunity was suggested to us by Emma Rolfson. On Friday, December 16, representatives from the Parent Child Assistance Program picked up three large bags of toys and gifts, plus the full donation box. Kerry Pinney worked with Emma to organize the drive. Thank you both!

Kerry Pinney’s daughter also donated fleece blankets to the gift drive that she and her Hockinson High School Key Club friends made. What awesome kids!
The perfect gifts for teens!
Once again, thank you to everyone to donated and those who helped coordinate these impactful giving opportunities. Happy holidays!
