This is the fourth year of what has become an annual effort on the part of members of the Homebuilders Association of Kitsap County (HBA). Thanks to contributions from additional members and the HBA, the committee raised over $4,000 to help provide a happier Christmas to 31 people through the YWCA’s Alive Shelter. Some of the gifts were even delivered by Santa himself.
