This past Advent's giving tree proved that a lot of good can be done remotely. Thanks to many generous on-line and by-mail gifts, our Homelessness Task Force was able to allocate $6,990 as follows: $2,800 for Safeway gift cards to school families in need, $2,210 for electric blankets to warm residents of Camp Second Chance, $555 for gift bags for children and youth attending the Welcome Table Saturday lunch, and $1,425 for tiny-home supplies.
