Washington Gorge Action Programs is asking for donations to help meet demand for its Tree of Joy project in Klickitat and Skamania counties.  The goal is to help families in need by providing new essential items, such as winter coats, hats, gloves, clothing, and shoes, with other gifts and toys to brighten a child’s holiday season.  WAGAP Executive Director Leslie Naramore says a shift to remote work seems to have disconnected workers from holiday activities with their companies that support local communities, leading to a drop in Tree of Joy donations.  Individuals and organizations interested in joining this year’s Tree of Joy effort can contact Modesta Espinoza at clerk@wagap.org or call (509) 493-2662 extension 200.  Donor shopping lists will be available by November 21 in advance of Thanksgiving.  Gifts should be wrapped, clearly indicate family and child numbers, and be returned to the Bingen Food Bank by December 18, in time for the families to pick gifts up starting December 19.
