Holiday Gratitude
Dear Editor: On behalf of the staff and board of Sitkans Against Family Violence, I would like to express our gratitude to all the businesses and individuals who contributed to making SAFV’s holiday season a success.
For their delicious food donations, we would like to thank Pizza Express, Hames Corporation and Sea Mart Quality Foods, and AC Lakeside. For the generous donation of fresh fish, we would like to thank Alaska Longline Fishermen’s Association. In addition, we would like to extend a thank you for the anonymous donations of our Christmas tree and holiday turkeys.
We greatly appreciate the presents from all who generously donated to the United Methodist Church Giving Tree and the Coast Guard Angel Tree. We’d like to thank White’s Pharmacy/Harry Race, The Cellar, Sitka Sound Seafoods, SAFV Advocate Karin Mullins, and True Value for the gifts, wrapping paper, and decorations. Without the generosity of the Sitka businesses and individuals in the community, we would not have had so many wonderful presents to distribute to families for their holiday season.
Finally, thank you to the 7th Day Adventist School for their kind gifts, and all those who helped with gift distribution. We would like to extend a thank you to all of our volunteers and SAFV Staff members who helped make the holiday season a safe and celebratory time.
Thank you Sitka for your incredible generosity this Holiday Season. So much joy has been expressed from all of our residents, clients and staff created by your support.
