This holiday season, the Assisteens® Auxiliary of Assistance League of Diablo Valley hosted a holiday party for the children at Meadow Homes Elementary school. 45 students attended the party and each one was given gifts, books, and a box of cookies that they could decorate. Each student spent time with the Assisteens where they played musical chairs, colored, read books, decorated cookies, and had their faces painted. The highlight of the two hour party was a visit from Santa, who distributed toys to each student. “I always get excited to have presents to open since Santa sometimes doesn’t have time to deliver to everyone.” said a student at Meadow Homes.
Assisteens love being able to give back to the community, and spread joy to underprivileged kids. Teenagers from grades 7-12th are encouraged to join the non-profit organization. “It’s a great way to meet people from all over Diablo Valley and give back to the community.” member Noelle Woolway says.
