Adopt-a-Family Christmas Drive

The Christmas season is upon us, and for many of us that means the full-fledged pursuit of the perfect gift for family members, friends, and lovers. But for the families who live at "Colorado Homeless Families," a non-profit transitional housing organization, Christmas presents are not in the budget....are they in yours?

The Colorado Homeless Families organization helps homeless families get back on their feet by providing them with a free, temporary place to stay and workshops and classes to develop professional skills. The families are able to save their money over time and will hopefully be able to afford a place to live with their savings. Unfortunately, that means that not a cent can be spared to buy their children Christmas presents. That's why the organization is asking the Colorado community to consider "adopting" a family this Christmas season. Those who are interested will receive a list with the names, ages, clothing sizes, etc. of a family in need. Imagine the difference you could make in the life of a homeless child! 

Last year, The Colorado Homeless Families organization campaigned to collect 100 children's bikes for the Christmas season, and this year their hoping to collect enough gifts for every child to have a great Christmas. So if you are fortunate enough to have some extra spending money, consider adopting a family for this Christmas season. I can guarantee that the gifts you buy will be cherished forever.
