WMS PTO CHARITIBLE GIVING
The WMS PTO is starting a holiday gift drive for middle school aged kids living in residential homes of Wayside Youth & Family Support Network, a local organization offering support, housing, and education to children who have experienced abuse, neglect, and trauma.
These are kids that are neither with foster families or their own families during the holidays
. Many gifts range between $5-$30, and all are 100% tax-deductible!
All gifts are purchased through this amazon link and will be shipped directly to the residential facility and wrapped for that child.
Please reach out with any questions or feedback.
Many thanks, and happy holidays!
Jenny Harding, Peg Burgess, Barrett Brountas & Colleen Morneweck
