Imagine your holiday with no presents. What would it be like to walk to school with no boots or mittens? Imagine what it feels like to go to bed hungry.

Unfortunately, some of our neighbors are facing tough choices this holiday season. Roseville Area Schools report that half of the students in the district live in poverty. That means some students come to school hungry. Some don’t have basic school supplies including pens, paper or backpacks, and some will have no gifts under the tree.

The City of Roseville, working with the Roseville Fire Angels, is collecting donations for local families this holiday season. Holiday donations will be accepted at Roseville City Hall, 2660 Civic Center Drive, through December 6. Items needed: grocery store gift cards, personal care items (toothpaste, deodorant, hair care), books, winter clothing, games, toys, backpacks, school supplies.
