Sky Valley donates wood for toys made for local hospital.

Sky Valley Cabinetry and Canyon Creek have made a positive impact on the economic development of Snohomish County, and strive to be a good community neighbor.

Beginning in 2001, the employees of Sky Valley Cabinetry have teamed up to support the annual food drive that benefits their local food bank. With 622 employees, the company has been one of the food bank's largest contributors, and has been instrumental in providing meals for those in need during the Thanksgiving holidays.

Sky Valley Cabinetry recently donated about 300 lbs. of assorted wood scrap to a local group of toymakers. As part of the annual gift-giving tradition to Seattle's Harborview Hospital, various pull toys and puzzles helped to make 61 hospitalized children have a merrier Christmas.
