Send us your holiday events

The holiday season of giving and sharing is upon us and many calendars will fill up soon with activities.

The Renton Reporter wants to help connect the community to the various opportunities to give, volunteer and support charitable causes around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

If you are hosting an event and need volunteers or donations, please send information detailing your needs and the event to reporter Tracey Compton at tcompton@rentonreporter.com.

Events such as homeless feedings, gift basket collections, clothing, food and gift drives are all welcome.

Send in your event details as soon as you can. The paper will publish these events starting next Friday, Nov. 11.
