PTA Council Holiday Baskets provide for local children in need

The Holiday Basket event is a partnership between the Shoreline PTA Council, City of Shoreline, the Lake Forest Park Rotary, the Shoreline Fire Department, the Dale Turner YMCA and Hopelink to provide assistance to families in need in Shoreline and Lake Forest Park.

This year there are 500 Shoreline and Lake Forest Park families registered, which includes over 1000 children ages 0-18.

This is the equivalent of two elementary schools.

Community support is extremely important to be sure that no child goes without during this season. Contributions of money, items, and time are needed and appreciated.

The "baskets" include age appropriate toys, gift cards for teens, and food. Every PTA in the Shoreline School District makes major contributions.

The Shoreline Fire Department holds a toy drive. They will collect toys from November 29 up until December 13th at any Shoreline Fire Station.

Food and gift card donations can be dropped off at any Shoreline School District school or the Shoreline Center until December 13th.

The event will be held on December 14, 2019 at Kellogg Middle School.

To volunteer, sign up online. There is a large variety of jobs. You can pick your job and your time slot.
