We hope you are enjoying the wonderful summer and staying safe. As our country is still navigating through the pandemic, Gift of Giving (GoG), a non-profit 501c3 organization, is starting to organize our annual Holiday Drive to assist the families in the community.
WHAT IS GIFT OF GIVING HOLIDAY DRIVE?
The Holiday Drive supports Avondale students in the free and reduced lunch program by providing students with basic needs such as winter items and food for the 2 weeks of Holiday break.
