“Things for Teens” Drive

Posted to Foundation Updates

The Willow Glen High Leadership class is currently running a “Things for Teens” drive, which is to help give to less fortunate teens. During this time of year, there are drives that only focus on less fortunate kids, and we tend to leave out the older kids (teens), so help us by donating teen-related gifts.

Some examples are gift cards, new or rarely used sweatshirts, movie tickets, games, books, etc. We also accept cash or checks.

Please make checks payable to InnVision, the charity for which we are collecting donations. We will have a drop off box at the WGHS Main Office.

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely, Willow Glen High Leadership Class
