Bringing the holiday cheer through SRWC
The streets are turning festive for the holiday season. In this joyous time, Stanford Redwood City is making it our mission to think about those who don't have the means to celebrate. To ensue this season of lights is bright enough to warm everyone's hearts, here is a list of giving opportunities that you can contribute to throughout December.
Adopt a Local Family
We are supporting Taft Community School in Redwood City where, each year, families sign up to be “adopted” for the holidays. We are looking for individuals to help purchase items from each family's wish list. Drop off or mail unwrapped gift items by Wednesday, December 6.
Holiday Toy and Book Drive
Public safety agencies in San Mateo County, including Redwood City's Fire and Police Departments, are conducting this year's Annual Holiday Toy and Book Drive. Donation barrels will be placed in building lobbies starting Monday, December 4 through Friday, December 15 for new and unwrapped toys and books.
Cardinal Cares Assembly Party
Cardinal at Work Cares is in need of volunteers for the assembly party on Monday, December 4, in Cardinal Hall. Sign up for a 30-minute slot to help sort and package items that will be donated to those in need. As a perk, volunteers get a free lunch!
Holiday Party Donation
On Tuesday, December 12, we ask that you bring a new, unwrapped gift or book to the SRWC Holiday Gathering as your ticket in. These gifts will go to families in need right here in our Fair Oaks neighborhood. Those who donate will be entered into a raffle to win a prize.
