Holiday Giving

Two wonderful ways to give this holiday season!

ESD 112 Needs & Wants Gift Drive

Each year, ESD Connects coordinates a holiday gift drive for families in need. We adopt families served by our Teaching & Learning programs that have been identified as the most in need of financial support during the holiday season.

Click here to access the families’ wish lists and type your name next to the item(s) you will purchase. Please sign up by Monday, November 27. Gifts are due by December 8. If you are purchasing gift cards, please be sure to purchase a physical gift card that can be given to the family.

Please deliver all gifts and gift cards to Tyler Wright in Accounting or have them shipped to:

ATTN: ESD Connects / Tyler Wright
Educational Service District 112
2500 NE 65th Avenue
Vancouver, WA  98661

Important details:

  • Please leave all gifts unwrapped.
  • If shipping directly, include a gift receipt that references the family # and child gender/age (if possible).
  • If you wish to remain anonymous, type a pseudonym in the Google sheet to reserve and let Tyler know that it’s you.

DEADLINE FOR DELIVERIES: December 8, 2023

Questions? Email esd.connects@esd112.org or contact Cari Wood.

PCAP Gift Drive

For the second year in a row, we will be holding a gift drive for the Parent Child Assistance Program (PCAP). PCAP is a non-profit that serves pregnant/ parenting women and their families who struggle with substance use and mental health. The program is designed to help those women get back on their feet, as they are facing a lot of significant hardships. Each year they hold a Holiday Shop where mothers in their program can come pick out free toys/gifts for their children. That’s where we come in!

ESD Connects will collect unwrapped toys and gifts for children of all ages from November 27– December 15. Gifts for ages 0-2 and teens are particularly in high demand.

Please bring unwrapped gifts to the decorated bin in the lobby of the 2500 building.

You can also ship gifts directly to:

ATTN: Kerry Pinney
Educational Service District 112
2500 NE 65th Avenue
Vancouver, WA  98661
