    Giving Tree at Mox Boarding House

    Hello Friends! We hope your Thanksgiving was cozy, and that you got your fair share of pumpkin pie. Everyone deserves pie. Thanksgiving marks the start of an important time for all of us at Mox Boarding House- it’s Giving Tree season! This is the time of year that we look forward to celebrating the generosity of our community by hosting our holiday Giving Trees at both of our locations. Our Giving Tree is a tradition we started at our Ballard location in 2012. We wanted to highlight the tremendous work that many of our local non-profits are doing every day to support families and individuals in need, whilst also providing an opportunity for our patrons to give in a big and meaningful way.

The point of our REGIFT-A-PALOOZA is to regift something you got this past holiday season that left you less-than-dazzled. This way, someone else gets that third copy of Splendor, or whatever you don’t have a particular need for, and you leave with something shiny and new!GREEN ELEPHANT RULES:At the beginning of the event, everyone will draw a number from a hat (NOTE: Might not literally be a hat).Whoever goes first will pick a gift from the pool of gifts, and open it.Each subsequent person can eit
