MOSES LAKE BUSINESS ASSOCIATION<br />

The Holidays are Coming! Service Ideas for Your Family!<br />

This season is a wonderful time of year, especially for families. This is a great time to enjoy time together. If you want<br />

meaningful family activities this Holiday season, consider doing a family service project. Here are some fantastic<br />

family service projects for the Holiday season.<br />

Fill a Stocking for a Foster Child<br />

With over 260 children in Grant County Foster Care this project is <strong>org</strong>anized by the Grant<br />

County CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate for Children in Foster Care). Filling a stocking<br />

for a Foster Child is a fantastic and fun service opportunity that can be fit around your<br />

schedule. The concept is simple. We will provide you a stocking to fill with small gifts for a<br />

child. You can choose whether you want to give to a boy or girl, and there are different age<br />

categories to choose from as well. When you have filled the stocking with toys and other<br />

goodies, you return it and we will give it to the child. This is easy and fun to do. Your child will<br />

love helping to pick out presents to go to another child their age.<br />

Ideas for the stocking include: age appropriate items such as $5 gift cards, blanket, pajamas,<br />

stuffed animals, socks, underwear, books, coloring book/pads of paper, crayons/pen/pencils, school supplies,<br />

chapstick, cosmetics, hair brush/comb, hygiene products, nail polish, toiletries, toothbrush, small games, small toys,<br />

and snacks.<br />

Children living in foster care have had to give up everything from family, home, routine to pets and favorite toys.<br />

When a foster child has to move from home to home, personal items can get lost in the shuffle or left behind. A few of<br />

the most comforting things for a child involve the bedtime routine. Gift cards provide children living in foster homes a<br />

sense of control that many have never experienced, having come from the chaotic environment of abuse or neglect.<br />

Suitcases are always needed as well to give a child a way to pack their items rather than using grocery bags.<br />

Contact Teresa Wyman at 793-6700 x 4426 or twyman@grant.co.wa.us for more information.<br />

Toys for Tots<br />

Donating to Toys for Tots is one of the easiest and most convenient ways to change<br />

someone's Christmas for the better. They take brand new donated toys and<br />

distribute them to children who are less fortunate. You can donate at the Marine<br />

Corps Recruiting office in the Desert Plaza Building at the Corner of Third Ave and<br />

Alder St in Moses Lake from Nov. 5—Dec. 19th or at Sinkiuse Square during the Ag<br />

Parade and Street Party on Nov. 30th in Moses Lake.<br />

Call Sergeant Jimenez at 765-3039 for more information.<br />

Salvation Army<br />

I'm sure you see the red buckets and the ringing bells. The Salvation Army receives<br />

millions of dollars a year to assist needy families, the homeless and the elderly. You<br />

can change Christmas for someone just by offering your spare change on your way in<br />

or out of the store while shopping this season or by volunteering to ring the bell. It’s<br />

a great way to serve as a family! Call Ken Palek at 766-5875 for more information.<br />

The possibilities are endless as to how you can serve others this Holiday season. Not only will you be helping others, it<br />

will help to make the Holidays more meaningful to you and your family. Enjoy yourself and help others!<br />

Every year MLBA purchases<br />

plants from the FFA program<br />

at Moses Lake High School.<br />

The students decide which<br />

plants to � ll the pots with<br />

and plant each of the 133+<br />

pots in the LakeTown Landing<br />

area. MLBA then hires a person<br />

to water each and every pot on<br />

a daily basis. At the end of the<br />

season the students as well as<br />

volunteers clean out each pot for<br />

the winter season.<br />

Make a donation to Festival of Trees!<br />

Dear LakeTown Landing business –<br />

Last year the Moses Lake<br />

Business Association was happy to<br />

support Habitat for Humanity’s Festival<br />

of Trees event by decorating a tree<br />

called “Celebrating LakeTown Landing”.<br />

We used brass ornaments from year’s<br />

past depicting scenes of Moses Lake and<br />

under the tree were items from Lake-<br />

Town Landing businesses.<br />

We still have ornaments left<br />

over and have signed up to once again<br />

decorate a tree to be auctioned off at the<br />

Festival of Trees event happening on<br />

Saturday, December 1st.<br />

We want to once again call the<br />

tree “ Celebrating LakeTown Landing”<br />

and feature some of our 200+ businesses<br />

downtown. Would your business<br />

be willing to supply a gift for under the<br />

tree?<br />

Every business that<br />

participates will get their name<br />

attached to their gift under the<br />

tree as well as mentioned in<br />

the tree’s description and logo<br />

included in the full page ad in<br />

the printed program given to<br />

all attendees.<br />

The Moses Lake Business<br />

Association would appreciate<br />

your support. If you have<br />

something to contribute please<br />

contact Marianne at 764-1745 or<br />

drop it off at the MLBA office at<br />

Desert Plaza (Third & Alder).<br />

Thanks again!<br />
