Time to shoot your shot, with a gift for those in need.

Coupeville High School’s basketball teams will collect donations for Holiday House North between Dec. 1-15, with drop-off boxes in the CHS gym lobby.

The Wolves are looking for unwrapped gifts which can be redistributed to families in Coupeville and Oak Harbor.

There will actually be two boxes, as the CHS girls and boys hoops programs are competing against each other to see who can bring in the most gifts.

“Please place your gift(s) in the appropriate team box, as I’m sure the coaches and teams have quite a lot riding on which team collects the most gifts,” said Coupeville Athletic Director Willie Smith.

“We are excited to help out our community families, and encourage all spectators to join us in providing some joy and happiness as we enter into the holiday season.”

You can brighten a child’s life.

Coupeville High School’s Captain’s Panel, a group of Wolf athletes, is working with the middle and high school ASB groups to run a toy drive through Dec. 13.

New, boxed/packaged toys can be dropped off either at the CHS and CMS offices, or at any home basketball games over the next week.

Those games include:

Sat-Dec. 7 — CHS girls/boys, varsity/JV, vs. Orcas Island (3:30)
Wed-Dec. 11 — CMS boys vs. Sultan (3:15)
Thur-Dec. 12 — CHS C-Team boys vs. Squalicum (6:00)
Fri-Dec. 13 — CHS girls/boys, varsity/JV, vs. Concrete (5:15)

The drive is being run in conjunction with the Readiness to Learn Foundation, Toys for Tots, and other community organizations.

The intent is to help provide toys and financial assistance to those in need on Whidbey Island, while helping Wolf athletes demonstrate service to the community.

The Captain’s Panel is comprised of sophomore through senior CHS athletes, who have been selected by their coaches as leaders, people of character, and highly motivated student/athletes.

Prior to the toy drive, these Wolves also ran sports clinics for Coupeville Elementary School students.

The captains have planned, coordinated, and organized the drive, working with both schools to promote and educate other students to the cause.

If you donate a toy, either at the school offices (501 S. Main Street), or at basketball games, you’ll receive a candy cane, plus a warm glow in your chest.

Or, if you can’t be there in person, monetary donations can be sent to:

Holiday House
PO Box 280
Langley WA 98260

Grey Rische wants the shirt off your back.

Well, not really. He’d actually prefer it if you gave him a brand new one.

Rische and other members of Coupeville’s Leo Club are running a clothing drive the first two weeks of Dec. and need your help to make it a success.

They want to collect NEW clothing items such as pants, socks, jackets, etc. and will donate everything to the Holiday House in time for the items to be distributed for Christmas.

Donations can be dropped off at the main office at Coupeville High School (501 S. Main) during school hours.
