Angel Tree
KES’s Angel Tree is a well-loved tradition that was started many years ago to provide a little bit of help to some of our KES families and families in our communities during the Holiday Season.
This year we will support our KES families as well as the families and children of two local organizations:
- Union County Community Action (UCCA) – They provide pathways for individuals and families to achieve economic self-sufficiency through the provision of services, advocacy, and community partnership. Our donations go directly to the children who are enrolled in their Winchester Head Start Pre-School, which is a daycare that serves families at or below poverty levels. These children are in dire need of clothes, underwear, coats, diapers and other toiletries. We are also collecting some pre-school toys for them to enjoy.
- Turning Point, Tree House Children's Advocacy - Their goal is to end domestic abuse, sexual assault, and child abuse through safe shelter, advocacy, prevention, and social change. Our donations will help make this holiday season a little bit brighter for a handful of children, whom require Tree House Advocacy's assistance.
Please consider donating some much-needed items and/or gift cards via the Angel Tree Sign Up Genius link:
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0b49a9ad2ba4ff2-angel
The Sign Up Genius will be updated as information is provided to us, so please check back often if you would like to and are able to help!
There will be collection boxes in the front office for the donated items. Please send in all items by Friday, 12/13 to provide us enough time to shop, sort, and deliver the items to appropriate destinations.
Please contact the PTO Angel Tree Co-Chairs, Tanya LeMay and Blake Miller at tanyallemay@gmail.com and blakemiller23@gmail.com respectively, if you have any questions. Thanks in advance for your continued generosity in helping us help others this Holiday Season!
