Pregnant? Teenaged? Homeless? Assistance League of Los Gatos-Saratoga volunteers opened their hearts again this year to help very young new mothers who are part of the Nurse Family Partnership with East Valley Medical Clinic in San Jose. Assistance League provided gifts for each child whose mother participates in a program of education and wellness for their babies sponsored by the Public Health Nurses. The colorful packages made a special backdrop for the holiday event on December 9, 2015, at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Saratoga. Nurse managers spoke about the challenges that face the young families they see and expressed appreciation, not only for the holiday gifts, but for the support that Assistance League provides their program all year round. A dozen nurses and staff from the clinic attended and loaded their cars with 101 gift bags, valued at more than $4,000, to distribute to their clients. Members and guests were entertained by Magic Makers, a special-needs choral group that definitely brightened up the room.
