Winter Wish Holiday Giving Program
Through our program, children and teens write letters to Communities In Schools of Tacoma requesting a wish that will make the holiday brighter for someone that they know. For some of our children the winter holidays are especially challenging and many of them know of others who need a lending hand. You can help make the holidays a little brighter for our kids by participating in the Winter Wish program this year. Winter Wish ensures that it is possible to make dreams come true.
