Generosity helped many homeless children

Wow! Thank you, community.

Dow Insurance Agency of Marysville would like to thank the generous members of the community who helped with our holiday drive for foster children and teens of Snohomish County, in conjunction with “KidsDream of Snohomish County.”

Thanks to the generosity and efforts of many businesses and citizens, we were able to donate $500; assemble 500 personal hygiene kits, many warm winter coats, hats, gloves, scarves, blankets, quilts and clothing; and great toys for foster children and teens in emergency need.

A very special thank you to Dr. Dirk DeYoung’s Marysville Family Dentistry; Dr. Jason Bourne, Marysville; Allstate Insurance; Carol Baker, Marysville; Edit Brown, Snohomish; Karin Dow, Seattle; Chris Hudyma, Tulalip; Lakeside Community Fellowship Quilters, Lake Stevens; Janene Lamphere, Marysville; Delores Lamas, Marysville; Lashua Family, Marysville; Marysville First Assembly; Jane McGillivray, Marysville; Tracy Miller, Bothell; Kim Orr, Everett; Sonya Pilon, Marysville; Townsend Family, Marysville; Dana Wilhelmi, Marysville and the staff at Dow Insurance Agency — Joleene and Debbi.

We will continue to collect donations throughout the year, in addition to our holiday drive. We encourage the community to continue to support KidsDream of Snohomish County by viewing its Web site: www.kidsdreamofsnohomish.org.

Happy New Year!
