When we first started discussing the changes we needed to make for the 2020 Lake City Holiday Project (way back in June) we had high hopes that the outcome would be successful. This project has been running in NE Seattle for more than 30 years and we have gotten to know the character of our community. In the face of COVID-19, we knew our neighbors would respond. Boy did you! When we put out the official call for gift cards and donations, our email inbox filled with notifications of PayPal donations and sponsorship requests. We registered 574 children from 231 families and as a result of your enormous generosity, we gave away nearly $40,000 in gift cards. Every child received at least $50 in gift cards and each family received between $25 and $125 in grocery store gift cards.
Our large order of gift cards finally arrived (5 days late) after going missing en route to Seattle! Gift cards are bundled by family and ready to be put into the official LCHP envelopes. Delivery of gift cards to North Helpline.
Thank you to everyone in our community who donated, mobilized your friends and family, and spread the word in your own social media. As proactive as we tried to be with communicating the new process, we could not have done it without neighbors reaching out to neighbors. We are all honored to live among you! I want to offer a huge word of thanks to the Lake City Holiday Project Leadership Team: Lee, Dody, Randy, Marijayne, Nicki (& Cuong!), J’Anna, Dawn, and Terry. I couldn’t ask for a better “think tank.” -Chris
