MEANINGFUL WAYS TO GIVE BACK THIS MONTH
Supporting Our Community Through Giving
The Student Lighthouse Team, a group of 20 Westridge students in grades 4-6, has a mission to encourage the Leader in Me habits among all Westridge students. In December, to promote Habit 4: Think Win-Win, we are partnering with West Des Moines Human Services and their Holiday Assistance Program.
If your family would like to participate, here’s how:
Westridge Holiday Assistance Program Drive
Monday, Nov. 29-Friday, Dec. 10
You can donate:
- A new, unwrapped toy that any child would enjoy
- A $25 gift card that a teen would enjoy
- A $25 grocery gift card to any local store
How to Donate
Items can also be dropped in the office during the day.
Then What?
These generous donations will be taken to West Des Moines Human Services, a non-profit agency that provides necessary assistance to our local community.
Last year, the agency provided holiday assistance to 1,224 families, and they anticipate assisting more families this holiday season. To contact West Des Moines Human Services, please call 515-222-3660.
