Christmas Presents Project

Status:
Completed

Problem/Opportunity

We know that there are many many children in our community that will not have much in the way of gifts this Christmas. Have our families come together and assist with this community issue.

Solution:

Have parents and students of Sonoma Taekwondo bring in new or softly used toys, books, and gifts to the school. Give these items to organizations that can distribute them to families that are in need.

Action:

1) Put out flyer to our students and parents asking for items.

2) Put out a request for shoe boxes and wrapping paper.

a) Go to local shoe store (Payless shoes)and collect throw-away boxes.

b) Go to Dollar stores for cheap wrapping paper

3) As items come into school have a storage place for them.

4) Call organizations to coordinate with when your project is done.

5) Assign parents and students to organize, box, wrap, and tag gift.

6) Distribute packages to the different organizations you made arrangements with.

Results:

Sonoma Taekwondo was able to collect, wrap, and deliver

95 gifts to local juvenile hall

30 gifts to local Boys and Girls Club of Sonoma
