Pasadena Waldorf School Celebrates the Holiday Season by Giving Back

Nearly $4,000 in toys and cash collected by PWS middle school students for local charities.

As an annual holiday service tradition, the Seventh and Eighth Grades of Pasadena Waldorf School once again partnered with the organizations Door of Hope, a Pasadena-based non-profit that provides transitional housing for homeless families and children, and St. James Community Food Locker, whose annual Christmas market gives families in need an opportunity to provide gifts for their loved ones during the holiday season. 

This year, the students added Five Acres, the 125 year old children’s charity and advocacy organization, which provided a wish list directly from children in need. Over $2200 worth of toys were donated to Five Acres, Door of Hope and the St. James Food Locker.  Before Thanksgiving, over $1700 was raised for Union Station to provide much-needed funding for their Thanksgiving feast for local homeless people in the Pasadena area.
