ASB volunteer Kathy Anger helped to staff a PAWSitive Choices booth for ASB volunteer Lindsey Kealey at the annual Candy Cane Lane in Redmond. Each December Candy Cane Lane provides free Christmas gifts for families caring for foster children. Coordinators Brian and Jamie Giannettino and their boys do a fantastic job soliciting, collecting and displaying many hundreds of donated presents of all kinds for resource parents to “shop through” to provide amazing toys and gifts for the children.
Lindsey could not attend this year’s event as she was required to isolate while supporting her husband Thomas following his bone marrow transplant. Kathy Anger and Char happily passed out copies of Lindsey’s new PAWSitive Choices book “Fox Tries New Foods” during the event promoted by the Central Oregon Foster Parents Association. The funds for the books were provided by a grant awarded to Lindsey to promote improved health and nutrition by the Central Oregon Health Council. It’s always a very touching experience meeting the amazing adults who choose to care for and house foster children.
