Season of Plenty and Sharing
'tis the season of plenty and sharing for sure, unless you don't have plenty or enough. Each year Arbor Lodge Neighborhood Associations invites all to share with Chief Joseph Elementary - for those that don't have enough. The Winter school break is 3 weeks long, and the weekend backpack program can't send home enough food for hungry kids. Instead, we urge you to take one or more $5 gift coupons from Fred Meyer or Grocery Outlet to the school by December 17th. Staff and volunteers will divide up what comes in and share with those kids who normally get a backpack.
The School is located on the corner of Saratoga and Delaware. The front office will be happy to receive any and all gift card donations. Thank you for supporting your neighbors! ALNA
