The REALTOR® Outreach Committee has selected several projects to help with this holiday season, and wanted to share these opportunities with our REALTOR® community as options for those who are looking for ways to give back.
Christmas Elves
The first of these is Christmas shoe box gifts for local kids in need. Christmas Elves has partnered with the Boise Police Department PAL and two Boise Community Schools to collect items, wrap, and distribute 166 boxes. The hygiene and school supplies have already been donated, so we get to donate the fun items! Looking for low-tech, think games and toys that can create good times with friends and family. To get involved, you can sign up for items at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080F4BABA929A7F49-christmas1. They’ve also created an Amazon wish list to inspire ideas – https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/13YLX6W9PYP3M?ref_=wl_sharew.
You can drop off items at BRR until noon on Monday, December 8th.
Join in on the fun of packing and wrapping these gifts! The Packing Party will be on Tuesday, December 10th, at 6:00 p.m. at the Eagle Middle School Cafeteria.Please contact Andrea Anderson with any questions.
High School + Housing = Success
The Education Foundation of West Ada School District currently has many students who are experiencing housing instability, five of which are currently in this program and we could directly help. They are looking for gift cards, (think Walmart, Target, Fred Meyer) to help these kids purchase gas and other items they need to get to school and remain successful in school. Please drop off any gift cards you’d like to donate at BRR by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, December 13th.
Please contact Marind Amano with any questions.
