Our Squad helps provide gifts to kids in need within our community during the holiday season.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many gifts should I buy per child?
A: We try and provide a bag that has around 5-7 gifts in it per child. In the event a donor provides only 1 gift, we combine it from other gifts received by donors to complete the gift bag.
Q: How much should I spend per child?
A: We usually suggest around $50/child but leave the amount spent to each donors decision.
Q: Do we get to know the child that receives my gift?
A: For student safety, we only receive the grade and gender of a child. We collect, wrap and deliver the gifts to the school district and they deliver them to the kids.
Q: Can I help wrap presents?
A: Yes! We usually have signups for wrapping once gifts start arriving. We also have a large final wrap party which will be sometime in the 2nd week of December. To volunteer please email us at holidayhelpsquad@gmail.com
Q: Are there other items needed?
A: We are always in need of wrapping paper and tape. Just reach out to let us know if you can help in this area.
Q: How do I register my child to receive gifts?
A: Currently we work directly with the Lake Stevens School District. If your child lives within the Lake Stevens Community please contact:
