Lift your spirits and theirs, ADD Gifts For Kids and Needy Children as part of your shopping list to be a shared joy. We find many Fire Departments in New York City, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, Houston, Tucson, Denver, Spokane, Portland, Chico, Sonoma Wine Country and San Francisco To San Diego and Hawaii participate in these programs. Check with your local fire department. From villages to major cities, this goes on yearly in most parts of the USA and Canada. Your efforts and gifts make certain these children remember this special Holiday.
The fire departments do this a variety of ways across the nation. I would like to outline a a few ways this can work for you.
1. Some fire departments prefer gifts unwrapped and cash donations to purchase specific toys for children.
2. They appreciate it if you place the age of the child on the gift - if not marked by the manufacturer.
3. They often have covered barrels outside of their stations between Thanksgiving to Christmas - drop the gifts into the barrels.
4. They deliver to various charities and raise funds to pay for items to round out the requests children often have, and often a Holiday Dinner basket...(watch for these fund raisers at your neighborhood fire house.)
5. They often host a $ a. breakfast to reach a funds goal and food drives for holiday baskets.
If you have a charity where children require the holiday support during the holidays, please call to be on their distribution list.
These are some of the groups the Fire Departments presently support:
Women's Recovery, Y.W.C.A. Safe house, Children's Home, Homeless Shelter, R.E.A.P. and Community Groups, Neighborhood Assn. Gang Intervention Program, American Legion Auxiliary etc.
