Gift Drive History

StarVista’s gift drive honors our late coworker and friend, Durand “Randy” Clark Yano. Randy launched StarVista’s first ever Holiday Gift Drive over a decade ago, and it has grown to become a favorite tradition amongst staff and clients. Randy always made sure the donations kept coming and that all the volunteers had what they needed to make it happen. Whenever it looked like StarVista might not have enough donations to help meet the need, Randy would personally reach out to friends and family to close the gap. He and his wife Debbie would frequently make special, last-minute trips to the store to ensure all wishes were fulfilled.

We are grateful to honor his memory and commitment to our organization’s mission and clients. Thank you for your generosity and for providing joy to the most vulnerable members of our community.
