GIFT DRIVE: The main purpose of this event is to show love toward children in the Foster Care system. We will have a toy and gift drive for Clark County children ages 10-17 who are presently in foster care or state custody. Though gifts for children under 10-years old are appreciated, we are encouraged to bring gifts for children who are in their teens. With several Whisper runners on the team who have been through state custody and/or the adoption process, and my father being adopted at birth, this is something that could really benefit those in physical and/or emotional need.

From Lindsay Griffin, Office Manager at WA St. Department of Children, Youth & Families, “A list of items typically requested from our teens:

• Wireless earbuds

• Bluetooth speakers

• Hoodies Larger sizes (Nike has been requested most of the time)

• Bath & Body sets/make up sets

• Electric razor

• Perfume/Cologne

• Drones

• LED lights”

Upon arrival, place your unwrapped gift on the donation table, and then find a place to dine and construct your Gingerbread House.
