“There is something so powerful about a community coming together to help each other. Being a part of this project is amazing because to me it is a highlight of what’s at the root of the Wenatchee Valley. This is a place where people roll up their sleeves to make a difference in the lives of others and this event definitely showcases that spirit.”

BARBARA HARRIS
Co-Coordinator
“I absolutely love the idea of having a day where we as a collective community can come together to spread goodwill — whether as a group or individually. Remember, kindness, whether great or small, can make a difference in someone’s day. Thanks in advance for your continued support in spreading kindness throughout our beautiful valley.”

At just 12 years old, Makenna Schwab is no stranger to Make A Difference Day projects.
This year’s toy drive marked her fourth such fundraiser for Seattle Children’s Hospital, a cause that’s dear to her and vital to her own story.
“Our community is so awesome,” Makenna says. “I’m a 12-year-old girl, and they came behind me and wanted to support my project.”
