?? Spread Cheer this Christmas! ?? The holiday season is just around the corner, and we’re excited to kick off our 6th annual Giving Tree! www.HolidayGivingTree.org Every year, with the incredible support of people like you, we collect hundreds of Christmas gifts and deliver them to youth and adults with autism and developmental disabilities throughout the Inland Northwest. Last year, we brought smiles and joy to 240 individuals in supported living and group homes—and this year, we’re aiming to brighten the holidays for more than 300 people. We invite you to join us in spreading holiday cheer! Without the generosity of our amazing donors, many individuals in our community would go without gifts to open on Christmas morning. The holidays can be a particularly challenging time for these individuals, who often don’t have family or friends to share the warmth of the season with. But together, we can make sure they feel loved and valued. We have so many ways for you to get involved and make a difference this year. Here’s how you can help: ?? Adopt-a-Home: Would your church or organization like to adopt a group home this holiday season? With over 70 homes to choose from, each housing 5-10 individuals, this is a perfect way to make the most of your contribution. ?? Adopt an Individual: You can make an individual’s holiday wish come true by selecting a gift from the wish list. We have over 300 gifts to choose from—each one guaranteed to bring joy! ?? One-Time Donation: Don’t have time to shop? No problem! Make a one-time donation, and we’ll do the shopping for you, ensuring that every wish is fulfilled. Whatever you choose, your generosity will make a lasting impact and bring happiness to some of our community’s most deserving individuals. Thank you for being part of this heartwarming tradition and for making the holidays truly magical for so many. Warmest wishes and holiday cheer, The Northwest Autism Center Team www.HolidayGivingTree.org
