This holiday season, the Assisteens auxiliary of Assistance League of Diablo Valley hosted a holiday party for the children at Meadow Homes Elementary School in Concord. Forty-five students attended the party and received gifts, books and a box of cookies that they could decorate. Assisteens and students also played musical chairs, colored, read books, decorated cookies and had their faces painted.
The highlight of the two hour party was a visit from Santa, who distributed toys to one and all.
“I always get excited to have presents to open since Santa sometimes doesn’t have time to deliver to everyone,” a student said.
Assisteens love being able to give back to the community and spread joy to underprivileged kids. Teenagers from grades 7-12th are encouraged to join the non-profit organization.
“It’s a great way to meet people from all over Diablo Valley and give back to the community,” member Noelle Woolway said.
