We've donated several food items for them and thereare many, many, many other food items, clothing, toys and even a t.v. My daughter's Cub pack adopted a family too and donated food, toys, clothes and moneyto them. There are a lot of charities around here at Christmas time and we try to help out as much as we can. We donated toys to the Tree of Hope a couple ofweeks ago as well. It's great when so many people help out others. <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/happy.gif" alt="image"> You all are so awesome!!<br><br><br>~Karen</font>

Here's a couple of toys my wife and I picked out (for a boy and girl). My wife is a 2nd grade teacher in an urban school system and she buys her studentsa little gift at Christmas. A couple of years ago, one of the little girls in her class didn't open her present and Debbie asked her why. The girl saidshe wanted to take it home so she would have something to open Christmas morning. It's easy to forget that there's a lot of need out there but thanksfor putting this out there and thanks to all for helping such a worthy cause.<br><br>Tom<br><br><img src="http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d168/sixfive1/DSC00045.jpg" alt="image">
