  “Prisoners at the Washington State Reformatory, with the help of WSR staff, and Albertson’s of Monroe, held a chicken/ice cream fundraiser in November. Thanks to the price break that Albertson’s gave us, we were able to raise the enclosed amount ($997), and your charitable organization was picked to be the recipient. A lot of prisoners are able to relate to there not being any presents under the Christmas tree on Christmas morning. The service that the Christmas House provides to the struggling families of Snohomish County at Christmas time is huge to us. We hope this check will help. Thank you for your service to our community.” – WSR prisoners, staff, and Albertson’s of Monroe

“I have a friend that is low on money for Christmas this year and she had to choose between a place to live or presents for her daughter. She chose the obvious. So that is were the American Girl doll came in. I won the doll in the Christmas House raffle and decided to give it to her daughter.

  “It is a pleasure for me to donate to Christmas House, because I know from personal experience how much it can mean to the whole family when a parent is able to pick out something special for his children even though he might not have the money to buy a gift. I grew up in northeastern Colorado, where in 1956 my father was hospitalized in the Denver VA Hospital for many months with a brain tumor. He was released from the hospital temporarily so that he could be home for Christmas. Before he came home, he was invited by a volunteer organization at the hospital to select Christmas presents for his family at a small store they had set up. Like your organization, they provided the gifts with no cost to the patients. My dad was so proud to be able to bring us things he had picked out himself! We were, of course, very happy that he could come home for Christmas, and the gifts he brought were a welcome bonus. I was ten years old at the time, and I still remember the presents: a wallet for my mom, a set of Lincoln Logs for my brother (a future engineer), and a book Five Little Peppers and How They Grew, for me (a bookworm and future librarian). I am grateful for the work done by people like you!” – Connie

 “Thank you for the opportunity to volunteer this year. I loved working with the computer input and enjoyed meeting the other volunteers and Directors in charge. It was a great experience. I am amazed by the organization and how well everything flowed to care for over 200 shoppers every day. Kudos to you all. May the Lord continue to bless you all through the year as you diligently strive for donations to serve families in Snohomish County. I hope they exceed all your expectations.” – Marion
