Please email me at [email protected] if you would like to purchase something for this family. The items requested by the family are limited so if you are wanting to donate a new item that is not on the list please just let me know. All gifts should come to the school by December 15th unwrapped. We are looking for some wrapping paper and tape donations as well to wrap them before we send them. I will do my best to get back to you with confirmations for each gift as soon as I can throughout the day through email. We are trying to make sure that each category is covered, but also are open to having more than one person sign up to bring those items so we ensure a plentiful Christmas. Any questions please don’t hesitate to email
