Family Resource Center looking for holiday donations

South Lake Tahoe’s Family Resource Center is working with a number of other local agencies to provide gifts for children, Christmas dinner, clothing, and other basic supplies to families in need throughout our community.

Below are the holiday programs people may help with: Christmas dinners: Through generous support from local Safeway stores, the FRC purchases dinners for families in need for $45 per family.

Family adoption: Adopt a family of any size and personally pick out the presents for the children. Families eligible for this program are generally large or single parent homes. Gifts should be wrapped and delivered to the Family Resource Center during the week of Dec. 12.

Gift basket program: In addition to Family Adoption, some donors like to provide families with a basic needs basket that includes household necessities such as laundry detergent, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, bathroom tissue, and many other items.

Baskets: FRC needs medium to large baskets and wrapping paper by the first week of December.

The Family Resource Center also accepts cash donations, which are spread out between all of the programs listed above. Mail donations to: SLT Family Resource Center, 3501B Spruce Ave., South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150.
