Holiday Giving Announcements

Holiday Food Drive / Drop off at the Hall
We kicked off our Holiday Food Drive! Once again, we are partnering with Our Daily Bread and collecting food to be dropped off at their location in Sunnyvale. Thank you to those who have already brought in food towards this more than worthy cause!

You may bring food in during any of the events this month, as well as drop by during our normal business hours (Tues-Fri 10:00 to 4:00) and leave the food with Stanley.

The last day to donate is Thursday, December 21st at the Holiday Regional Lunch.

Holiday Giving Tree / If you select a card off the Tree, deliver gifts to the Hall before the Dec 5 cutoff / Virtual Option available

Once again, we are going to collect Christmas gifts for the Family Giving Tree organization. FGT gives gifts to needy children as well as some adults and seniors in need.

FGT works with social service agencies and charitable organizations to find the recipients. Their clients, or the child’s parents, fill out a wish form with 2 wishes, and FGT prepares wish cards that are distributed to many organizations throughout the Bay area. While there numerous gift drives every year, what sets FGT’s drive apart is that the recipients actually get the gift they wanted. Last year, FGT gave more than 44,000 gifts and hopes to do better this year.

The generous members of IAHF brought in 64 gifts and a $50 donation. Some donors filled both wishes on the cards! The tree has been set up with almost 50 cards. We must have all gifts to IAHF by December 4 so I can get them to the FGT warehouse by December 5. Even bring them to holiday dinner dance on Dec 3, or durning regular office hours - Tuesday through Friday, from 10 to 4, and cards can be picked up and gifts dropped off during those times.

Monetary donations and gift cards are also welcome! It is an amazing experience to go to the warehouse and see the thousands of gifts wrapped and ready to go. For more information visit this link: Family Giving Tree

It always is a special part of my Christmas season. I am so happy that IAHF is helping to make so many wishes come true.
