Holiday Needs
We are seeking donations to help our very poor families enjoy a happy holiday. Particularly needed: baby toys/gifts, ethnic dolls, toys/ gifts for children over 9 years, especially teens. Gift cards are appreciated. Particularly destitute families need a group to “adopt” them for the holidays.
