Evergreen Academy locations in Bothell and Kirkland teamed up this holiday season to collect donations for Childhaven, a nonprofit organization in Seattle that helps children who have been abused or neglected.

As part of Evergreen’s Giving Without Walls program, which teaches students about community service and giving to others, children and their families set up Giving Trees at each school location and collected toys, clothing and diapers.

Students brought donations to the Childhaven facility on Dec. 13 and presented them to a representative from the organization. Through this outreach project, students learned the importance of caring for others in need.

Childhaven is a nonprofit organization in King County that provides care to children between the ages of one month and five years who have been abused or neglected.
