Guest Writers: Annette Kramer and Jenny Johnston

We’ve embarked on what we hope is the beginning of a new holiday tradition here at Houston’s. This year, we wanted to find a fun and worthwhile way to give back to our local community during this time of giving. We chose to participate in the Les Schwab Toy Drive due to the fact that Les Schwab Tires is a well known Pacific-Northwest company that has been sponsoring this event for many years and it supports kids, teens, and families in the local community that we call home.

We are fortunate to be able to participate in this effort with thanks to our extremely generous employees who gave willingly. We as a company donated hundreds of dollars worth of gifts for all ages: coloring books, Hot Wheels, action figures, games, stuffed animals, dolls, sports equipment, and craft sets.

On Monday, December 12^th, Annette Kramer and Jenny Johnston loaded up all of the unwrapped gifts that had been left under the lobby Christmas tree, and delivered them to the local Wilsonville Les Schwab. The Les Schwab staff was thrilled and very thankful for all of the donations. It’s such a great feeling to be able to make a difference in the lives of children and families that otherwise may not have had a Christmas this year.

Thank you, to all of our generous employees who contributed, and we look forward to carrying on this Christmas tradition for many years to come.
