Shoreline PTA Council

Holiday Baskets

Food, Toys, Teen Gifts

Collection dates:  December 7 – 18

The Shoreline PTA Council and the Shoreline Fire Department is collecting food and gifts for the annual “Holiday Baskets” Food, Toys and Teen Gifts Drive.  The goal is to provide a holiday meal and food support for the winter break and gifts for Shoreline families in need during this holiday season.  Collection boxes will be placed in all Shoreline Schools classrooms for donations of non-perishable foods and other essential items. 

Each school is encouraged to collect 500+ of their assigned item along with their regular food donations.  These items will be pooled together to create a “Holiday Basket” for a holiday meal.  Community members are encouraged to participate by bringing items to the nearest school office.
For more information, email the Holiday Basket chairperson.
