Are you interested in a service project this Christmas? I know sometimes you want to give back but just don't know what to do or have the time to coordinate it. Tri-Lakes Cares gives you the opportunity to adopt a family for Christmas. Parents will submit "wish lists" for their children and then you can purchase gifts and bring them to Tri-Lakes Cares for families that will not be able to give their kids a Christmas this year. If our entire neighborhood adopts one family it would take very little from each of us to provide a Christmas for some children in our area that might not get anything this year.
How would it work? I would call Tri-Lakes Cares and ask to adopt a family with two or three kids on behalf of Greyhawk. They would give me a list of what the child needs and wants. I would then email you with the list and you can either pick something off of the list or just donate a small amount of money and I would go pick up the items. I would then go and donate the items on behalf of all the Greyhawk neighbors.
I will need at least 10 families willing to participate before I will call and adopt the family. They do this through the month of December so please let me know before Thanksgiving so I will have an idea if we are able to provide for the family. We really only need 10-20 families to donate $10-15 (or an item on the list) to make it work. If this sounds like something you would be interested in please comment below or email me at valeriemcdowell@gmail.com.
