Hazel Dell — The North East Hazel Dell Neighborhood Association recently hosted the 16th Annual Holiday Youth Giving Event at Sarah J. Anderson School, giving away wrapped presents to all 400-plus kids in attendance.
Waste Connection donated 59 bikes, which were then raffled off. The evening included photos with Santa, face painting, holiday music and treats from local fast food restaurants.
This was the first holiday youth giving event since the November death of Bud Van Cleve, the former president of the association who started the event.
