Dear Friends,
Your generous support and care for the families within the Jubilee REACH community helps to transform lives. As we look forward to Christmas, we invite you to join us in sharing the love of the season with these families and children.
At the heart of Jubilee Elves is the hope for the parent or guardian of the child to be a hero, and during what might otherwise be another season of struggle, Christmas may be a time where they and their children experience love in a special way. These memories may last a lifetime, keeping families connected and bonded.
The silent and hidden partners of this wonderful time are Jubilee Elves; people like you who choose to show love to their neighbors, helping Christmas feel meaningful and memorable.
This year, Jubilee Elves will primarily be supporting Bellevue families from four different areas:
Families in the Jubilee ‘Groceries for Families’ program, nearly all in the Bellevue School District
Families in the Jubilee ‘Before & After School’ program, all in the Bellevue School District
Families served by NISO, a local organization serving hispanic families of preschoolers living in Bellevue and on the Eastside
Other families in the Bellevue School District, many of whom are experiencing homelessness
Families participating in Jubilee Elves will experience the love and joy of the season, as well as receive tangible items, such as:
A joyful and festive holiday reception at the Jubilee REACH Center
A special personalized gift package for each child, provided by a Jubilee Elf {New this year!}
A grocery gift card for the family
The opportunity to select toys for each child from the Jubilee Elves Toy Shop, provided by other special donors
Other special holiday items

In all, we anticipate approximately 500 families and 1,100 children will participate in Jubilee Elves, and we hope you will too. If you have questions, please email jubileeelves@jubileereach.org
Thank you for loving families in this community by being an Elf. Together, we can step toward these families to bring light, hope and happiness to a Christmas season, which deserves to be memorable for all.
Blessings to your family,
Jubilee REACH

Jubilee Elves FAQ
-
1. Sponsor a specific child or children by purchasing items for a personalized gift package, as requested by the child. Gifts are to be wrapped, labeled and brought to Jubilee REACH by December 2nd.
2. If you prefer not to shop for a gift package, please consider donating to Jubilee Elves directly. All funds will sponsor a child through a proxy shopper or support other needs of the program.
-
Thanks to a generous anonymous Elf, your support will be matched, so each family will also receive a gift card for groceries valued at an average of about $100, based on the size of the family.
-
Parents and guardians will have the opportunity to write a thank you note, and we will share these with all Elves.
