As the holiday season arrives, many families struggle to afford basic needs. To help, Tukwila Parks and Recreation and the Rotary Club of SeaTac-Tukwila invite the community to join their annual Spirit of Giving campaign. This year, they hope to provide cozy clothing, hygiene products, grocery gift cards, and gifts to local children and their families. Every donation, no matter the size, can make a big difference.
Thanks to community support, the Spirit of Giving raised $38,000 in donations last year. That helped over 430 children and their families receive essential items and holiday gifts. This year, the campaign organizers are asking for even more support to help children stay warm and have a little joy during the season.
How Spirit of Giving Helps Local Families
Local families get help with everyday needs and a few special holiday surprises through Spirit of Giving.
How You Can Help
1. Donate Money – Every Dollar Counts
Monetary donations allow Spirit of Giving to provide grocery gift cards so families can have fresh food and special holiday meals. Even a small donation makes a difference. Donations can be made through the SeaTac-Tukwila Rotary Foundation via Venmo @SeaTacTukwilaRotaryFoundation.
For those who prefer to send a check, make it payable to:
Southcenter Rotary Foundation
PO BOX 88744
Tukwila, WA 98138-2744
2. Host or Join a Collection Drive
Hosting a collection drive is a great way to involve friends, family, or coworkers. Every item collected helps a child feel special. The deadline for donations is December 1. Donations can be dropped off at the Tukwila Community Center at 12424 42nd Avenue South.
3. Use the Amazon Wish List
Spirit of Giving has set up an Amazon Wish List for a quick and easy way to help. Pick an item, add it to your cart, and Amazon will deliver it directly to the campaign. This option lets you help even if you’re short on time.
How Small Contributions Add Up
Providing holiday joy doesn’t require a big donation. No matter how small, every contribution helps make a family’s season brighter. Last year’s Spirit of Giving showed that small gifts can add up to huge support when neighbors come together. Even something as simple as a pair of gloves, a hygiene kit, or a small gift card can make a big difference during the holidays.
