LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Once again, the outpouring of generosity from the citizens of Lake County was overwhelming in support of the Child Protective Services Wish Tree at Umpqua Bank in Lakeport and Kelseyville.  

More than 180 children benefited from this program this holiday season.

A thank you to Clearlake Bassmasters is in order; the group donates $500 annually towards the purchase of gifts.  

The associates at Umpqua Bank also thanked Allen and Donna Thomas, Becky Ornellas, Linda Andersen and many others for their very generous monetary donations, which allowed the bank’s associates to finish the shopping. Without those generous donors, this would not have been possible.

There will be many happy children this holiday season thanks to the kindness of so many in the community. Lake County is truly a very special place to live.

The associates wished everyone a wonderful holiday season and a safe, happy, and prosperous new year.
