**ABOUT THE FAMILY**
For the holidays, Babes are *again* adopting a family of 7 in Tenino, fully vetted by the Director of the Tenino Food Bank.
***Yes, this is the same family as last year! Why?***
This family, who has experienced great trauma, has made significant strides in healing and recovery this year. Babes will celebrate this family’s meaningful growth milestones by gifting them another much deserved holiday delivery - one they will again never forget.
**2024 UPDATE**: Grandparents, Lorraine and Phil, who are on a fixed income, put their lives on hold and took in grandkids, Chevelle and Chevy (8-year-old twins), Cruz (3) and Weston (2), after the unexpected death of their son, Casey.
During 2024, the children's mother, Sara, has made great efforts to become sober, going through rehab and counseling. Sara now has a job and an apartment for herself and has the 4 children (this is big). Grandparents Lorraine and Phil’s continued daily help with the children and financial support is a big part of this on-going success story. Phil and Lorraine are retired and on a very fixed income...*can you imagine?*
So, our amazing group of Babes is stepping in again, this time to ensure Sara and her 4 children, and Phil and Lorraine, have a best holiday.
In addition, Karen Hurley is working with the local foster program in Tenino, and gifts and gift cards for foster teenagers have been requested. It's such a treat for these teens to go out and about with their own money, something they often don't have.

Thank you, Karen, for your tireless commitment to giving projects that are close to your heart. Thank you for giving all of us an opportunity to contribute.
