From Unit 135

Chief Joseph ALA Unit #135 was able to obtain a $500 Town Pump Adopt-a-Family grant to help two Lolo families have a better Christmas this year.  The Lolo School Counselors selected the families and provided the Unit with a list from each.  The attached picture depicts the delivery of items on December 11, 2025.  Items purchased were Paw Patrol toy, shirts, pants, sweatshirts, sneakers, snow boots, Town Pump gas card, 3-piece skillet set, sheets, comforters, thermal underwear, pillows, laundry detergent, dish cloths, grocery and gas gift cards.  The Unit also selected 2 ornaments off the school tree and purchased 2 hoodies for girls aged 14 and 17. We’re proud to participate in this event each year and have been rewarded with very positive feedback from the families through the counselors.
