This year's Raiders Women's Association Holiday Gift Drive produced over 200 gifts that went out to support the efforts of three local organizations that assist underserved families and children-- Angel Tree, the Family Justice Center's "Natalie's Nook" Book Drive, and/or A Safe Place.
The two-week drive that culminated on December 15 asked for the RWA to help the less fortunate by donating gifts that were presented by our organization's member to each of those local entities. Many in the RWA requested tags to sponsor Bay area youngsters for the Oakland Salvation Army's Angel Tree program. The Salvation Army in Oakland interviews low income families for Christmas assistance as well as houses families in its homeless shelter, which has a waiting list.
