Christmas Teen Gift Drive

the problem:

DSNOW is joining in on a countywide campaign through Holiday Coalition to provide gifts to needy families.We learned that the teens are inadvertently often left out with the gift selections.

vital stats:

people impacted:

20

people involved:

15

why it's important:

Our goal is to focus on gifts for the teens since most others think of the younger kids.

the plan of action:

We asked to team members to be Leaders for the project Mac Kaseman and Joe Seigel. So they thought up the idea to sell hot chocalate (its cold in VA) at our annual Christmas parade and collect donations to purchase teen gift items. Also, each dsnow member is asked to contribute a gift and spread the word to others. Also, dsnow members will sign up to work at Holiday store where the families come and get their items.
