KNOW wraps up giving baskets Snowman’s Dance at MHS
By CRAIG MURPHY
Of the Keizertimes
Looking for a new way to
support a popular longtime
holiday program?
Ham it up this year.
Per usual, the Keizer Net-
work of Women (KNOW)
Giving Basket program is
taking place this holiday sea-
son in Keizer. The program
helps children who could use
some gifts during the holi-
days.
More than 100 local fami-
lies and about 350 children
are helped by the program
each year.
In addition to gifts, boxes
of fresh food are also put to-
gether for the families.
Along those lines, Audrey
Butler, who has led the Keiz-
er Chamber of Commerce
program the past eight years,
noted hams are a new part of
the food boxes this year.
“McNary Golf Club is
hosting our ‘pig’ tree with
tags at $10 to raise additional
money for our hams,” But-
ler said. “They wanted to do
something in their building,
so we came up with this. We
think it’s going to work out
great.”
Early returns would seem
to indicate so, as Butler noted
Loren’s Sanitation had do-
nated $600 for the ham. Mc-
Nary Golf Club is located at
155 McNary Estates Drive
North.
While the gifts and food
boxes are handed out in De-
cember, the process starts each
June, when school counselors
in Keizer are notifi ed and
asked to start thinking of stu-
dents who could use some
gifts during the holidays.
By late October, Butler
and the KNOW members
are sorting through the re-
quests and fi guring out who
gets what gifts. For a family
with multiple children, care is
taken to make sure each child
gets an equal number of gifts.
Group members got to-
gether the evening of Nov.
5 and completed gift tags.
The tags went out a few days
later and are on Giving Trees
at fi ve Keizer locations: St.
Edward Catholic Church,
Schoolhouse Square Star-
bucks, Mommy and Mad-
di’s, Big Town Hero and the
Courthouse Athletic Club.
Gifts need to be dropped off
by Dec. 4.
Gifts will be picked up
Monday, Dec. 7, with strag-
gler gifts and last-minute
shopping being picked up
the following evening. Sort-
ing and boxing of food is be-
ing done Dec. 9 and 10.
A big gift wrapping party
takes place on Thursday, Dec.
10, with the goal being to
have the process completed
that evening. Boxes will be
rechecked Dec. 11, with any
necessary last minute pur-
chases being done that day
as well. Fresh food will be
picked up at 8 a.m. Dec. 12,
with delivery beginning that
day at 9 a.m.
A dozen regulars help
with the program, with 30 to
50 additional people usually
coming to help during the
busy week.
Butler is always pleased
with how things come to-
gether each year.
“It always works,” she said.
“It is 100 percent because
we’re doing the right thing.”
