PAUL SCHRAG: NATIVITY HOUSE DEPENDS ON ITS AUCTION >>>

Nick Leider is betting on the generosity of his neighbors this weekend. As executive director of  Tacoma-based social service organization Nativity House, Leider is responsible for ensuring that hundreds of Tacoma’s homeless residents receive food, clothing and other basics. This Saturday, Leider’s organization hopes to net about $80,000 at the Nativity House Annual Gala Auction. That money will go to help pay for services that are growing in demand in Tacoma.
