Lynnwood, WALocal News

Washington Kids in Transition (WKIT) has unveiled a virtual giving tree program designed to assist students experiencing homelessness in Washington, just as the holiday season draws near. With the goal of preparing holiday bags for 700-800 students, WKIT invites community members to participate by contributing gifts and essential resources online. This initiative helps to ensure that these students receive much-needed support during a particularly difficult time of year. The program underscores the significance of community involvement and the collective responsibility to uplift those in need. By providing tangible support, WKIT not only addresses immediate challenges faced by homeless students but also aims to instill a sense of hope and belonging during the holidays.

The launch of this program serves as a reminder of the power of compassion and generosity within the local community. As people come together to support the cause, the impact of this initiative can resonate far beyond the holiday season. WKIT's efforts exemplify a commitment to social welfare and the importance of supporting vulnerable populations in the Lynnwood area.
