Stemilt recently continued its tradition of bringing Christmas joy to local youth.

This year marks a decade of giving presents donated by the Stemilt family to foster children in the Wenatchee valley, according to a news release. The Wenatchee, Wash.-based, family-owned grower-packer-shipper of tree fruit provided gifts for 131 children in Chelan and Douglas counties who are under the care of the Washington State Department of Youth and Family Services and K Connections.

“I am always so humbled and thankful for the generosity of our Stemilters and a special thanks to the Stemilt Community Investment Committee for wrapping every gift beautifully,” Stemilt President West Mathison said in a news release. “Being in the room and seeing all these gifts knowing that each one would bring a child great joy … it is over whelming.”
