Navos, Ruth Dykeman Children’s Center and Seattle Children’s Home, together with their partners, help 40% of the children, youth and families seen in our community for emotional and mental health issues. 

And now, they need help back from the community.

“The Holidays are a particularly difficult time for these children and families,” reads an announcement. “Help us touch each child or family in need by contributing today.”

Here is how you can help:

• Pick up a tag:
  • Visit one of the local business and pick up a tag with a child’s holiday wish.
  • Include it in your shopping and return it to the establishment.

Local Businesses participating:

BURIEN:

• 3 Wishes
• Albertson’s
• Collins Chiropractic
• Highline Athletic Club
• Matt Griffin YMCA
• Tin Room
• Eldorado Retirement Center

WEST SEATTLE:

OTHER WAYS TO HELP:

• Host a Toy Drive: At your work, place of business, civic group, place of worship, or with neighbors and friends.
• Adopt a Family: The holidays can be especially overwhelming for parents when they can’t provide gifts or even a special meal.
