Generous community embodies holiday spirit

Let it be said and let it be known that our extraordinary community of Snohomish has involved itself in a neighbor-helping-neighbor holiday endeavor.

For the more than 2,000 needy residents of the Snohomish School District, Thanksgiving and Christmas meals were made possible by our entire city of Snohomish.

Students, teachers and principals of our Snohomish schools conducted food drives that produced over a ton of food. One truck load after another, all collected by the inspirational students on their own time. Top Food and Drug, individuals, civic clubs, businesses and churches were amazing in the cash donations each sent on our behalf.

“Thank you” is so inadequate for all the love that has been showered upon us this season. I am so proud to be a member of this city.
