That was news to me! I'll be donating cash this year instead of cans from my food storage (easier than replacing the cans and better for the food bank!!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870991327984408149.post-90514201797858746432009-11-21T10:04:33.854-07:002009-11-21T10:04:33.854-07:00Many years ago my family all decided that there we...Many years ago my family all decided that there were others in the world who needed more than we did so instead of giving gifts to aunts, uncles and cousins 9even though it had been a name-draw) we've been using what we would have spent on that for others... quilts for the humanitarian center, Santa for a needy family, etc. This year we are all donating to an Eagle Scout project for The Christmas Box House... Thanks for you idea to carry into neighborhoods as well!Deborah Raymondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06806663613901555689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870991327984408149.post-12277047524324399672009-11-19T17:57:27.280-07:002009-11-19T17:57:27.280-07:00Our neighborhood has just organized this same type...Our neighborhood has just organized this same type of tradition this season, in our neighborhood there is a couple expecting triplets so we will be donating money for diapers and formula at a get together with treats to share and decide what next years charity will be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870991327984408149.post-38390553171094039232009-11-17T08:12:36.547-07:002009-11-17T08:12:36.547-07:00What a great idea I definitely want to use that id...What a great idea I definitely want to use that idea for our neighborhood gifts.

Usually the Young Women sponsor a Sub for Santa project through our local Sub for Santa program. It's been great fun and a wonderful way to get the holiday spirit. I love this food pantry idea also. Everyone needs to eat and how wonderful to ease a parents burden of seeing their child hungry.onlymeherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08880378084448908090noreply@blogger.com
