We heartily participate in a “12 days of giving” program via our kids’ school. Each day has a different request for brand new giftable items such as toys, arts & crafts, girl clothes, boy clothes, toiletries, blankets, coats, food, baby items etc. and we always send at least one, but usually an average of 2-3 items, per category. We know the list a few weeks in advance, so we can get things ahead of time, and then each day during the 12 day period we send the items to school so our kids can put them under the Christmas tree in the main foyer. Then at the end of the 12 days the school puts together hampers for needy families. It’s a really great program that does a lot for the community.
