When my kids were small we would make bags for the homeless people downtown. We would get gloves, scarfs, socks, and food that could be opened easily, pull top tuna, cheese and crackers, fruit etc. We would then spend a morning walking around downtown – personally handing them a bag and wishing them well.

It was one of the most meaningful things we did as a family.

My GF and I are doing something similair here in Houston, they call it ‘Adopt an Angel.’ We basically ‘adopt’ a family’s children and buy them gifts. they give us a list of what they want, usually kids stuff, and we buy it for them (within reason) as well as some clothing and stuff. We also pay for a nice Christmas dinner for thier family.

It helps that there are 15-20 of us participating and that we usually are able to adopt 2 families with several kids.

I commend you for what you are doing. Keep it up!

Thank you Marlene!!
My friend John said that he sent a note giving you the URL for updates. They are off to a great start. Between donations and clothing etc, the family is on the way to a wonderful Christmas. We still have a long ways to go though, so there is still a lot of opportunity for others reading this to help.

Thanks again for your generosity!
