HOLIDAY-HELP REMINDER: The Christmas People are still accepting holiday-meal requests, and cookies

This is a big week for the volunteer organization known as The Christmas People. They’re planning to feed hundreds around the area for the holiday. They’re now stocked up with volunteer help, but they need two things:

HOMEMADE COOKIES: Bake them and drop them off in boxes or carefully placed in bags. Volunteers will take it from there. Dropoff times and location – 9 am-4 pm each of the next five days, Wednesday through Sunday – Christmas Day included – at Alki Masonic Center, 4736 40th SW. (Use the Dining Room entrance that faces the parking lot.)

NEED A HOLIDAY MEAL? Call or email The Christmas People by Thursday (Christmas Eve) to order free meals if you’re in need – “shut-ins, seniors, veterans … people who need a nice meal at Christmas.” Call Fred at 206-719-4979 or email pialley@jps.net.

    I was surprised to see this announcement as I emailed this organization 2 weeks ago asking if cookies were still needed and when/how to drop them off. Sadly, I never received a response.

    Do they need volunteers for Christmas day or Eve? To deliver to people’s houses or to do something else?

    Do they need volunteers to deliver Christmas food and cookies on Christmas eve or Christmas day?

      They told us they’re fine on volunteers after the response to the first mention, and also thanks to Seattle Works.

    This is wonderful, thanks to all involved!

    Don’t be shy to offer kindness and connection to those you encounter outside needing it. Not everyone in need will connect with these volunteer events or shelters.

    See the person cold and huddled outside, and offer what you can.

    Warm and healthy holidays wishes 💛
