PTA Council Holiday Baskets Food, Toys, Teen Gifts Drive begins December 5

The Shoreline PTA Council, along with community partners the Shoreline Fire Department and Hopelink, are joining together to support families with children in Shoreline and Lake Forest Park who need assistance during the holiday season.

The 2011 "Holiday Baskets Food, Toys, Teen Gifts" drive will run from December 5 to 16. Donations of non-perishable food and unwrapped toys or teen gifts may be dropped off at any Shoreline School District school during regular school hours.

Monetary donations may be made payable to Shoreline PTA Council, note Holiday Baskets-Food or Holiday Baskets-Teen Gifts, and mailed to Shoreline PTA Council, P.O. Box 55784, Shoreline, WA 98155-5784.

Toy donations may also be made at any Shoreline Fire Station. The Shoreline Fire Department will be sponsoring a toy donation drive at Fred Meyer in Shoreline on Saturday, December 3.
