Rainier Fire Auxiliary - Holiday Gift & Food Drive

The Rainier Fire Auxiliary is kicking off its annual Holiday Gift and Food Drive for needy families in the communities of Yelm and Rainier.

They need your help in making the holidays brighter for these deserving families.  All gift donations, large and small, put some cheer into the holidays for a child who may otherwise not have received any gift at all.  The items are given to families who often cannot afford to buy presents, so that the children can open a gift that's given to them by a loved one, not a charity.  All food donations help put food on the table for these same families during the holiday season.

You can help by donating gifts for boys and girls of all ages and any canned or non-perishable food items.  We are also accepting "like new" clothes, toys, games, etc.  Donations may be dropped off a the Rainier Fire Station at 12506 133rd Ave SE - in Rainier, WA or at the Yelm Fire Station at 709 Mill Road SE, Yelm, WA.  

Monetary donations are always accepted and may be made to the Rainier Fire Auxiliary and mailed to PO Box 777, Yelm WA 98597.  Your donation is tax deductible and will help local families.

Volunteers are also needed to help pick up, sort and inspect all donated gifts and food items.  If you can help, please call Kathy Schleis at (360) 280-0941.  

Thank you.
