Head Start student Irving Chavez wears a big grin Thursday morning during his talk with Santa Claus at the annual Energy Northwest Holiday Party at the Pasco preschool facility.
Employees of Energy Northwest donated Christmas gifts to 440 local children and presented them at 11 parties this year.
It’s the 37th year for the distributions and more than 12,000 children of low-income families have received gifts since 1980.
