Hello Ruby Families!
Heading into December, we reflect back in recognition that this year has been quite difficult for us all. As the holidays arrive, we know many of our STAR families are struggling to find a way to bring the holidays home. With the season of Giving in our hearts, we are opening this to all families to be GIVERS and RECEIVERS of joy this holiday. Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, St. Lucia Day, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Omisoka, Winter Solstice, or any other holiday, we want to join together in GIVING TO BRING JOY into the last month of 2020!
If you are in NEED of support this Holiday season, please fill in the survey below. Only a select few staff members will see your ask and reach out to you to make arrangements in supporting you. Please complete this survey by Saturday, December 5th.
If you are able to GIVE this holiday season, do not fill in the survey. Please just bring new, unwrapped, unused, NEW Donations to the front Office to place in the Drive bins on Mon 12/7/2020 thru Tue 12/8/2020, 12pm-2pm. We are in Shelter-in-Place, so please adhere to mask wearing over nose & mouth and social distance protocols!

All donation packaging will be sanitized and set in quarantine for decontamination BEFORE families in need will be able to pick up items. Filling out the above survey is not a guarantee of goods and LIMITS per Family may be placed, based on how many total items are received.
