The gift of giving

"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." ~Aesop

Here's the information and wish lists for the family we adopted for the Crosslines Holiday Basket program.  I appreciate your willingness to share and give.  If each of us can bring just a little, this family will have a lot, I think...We've got a young dad and two little boys.

If there is something in particular you would like to be responsible for, add your name next to it directly on this post.  Put your name in green.  I marked a couple of things I will get below.  For the more general categories like Hot Wheels, food, cleaning supplies, etc., more than one person could sign up and just bring different things.

We need to have everything wrapped and ready for delivery on Monday, 14 December.

  1. I can get the gift card, I work at Hy-Vee, so it'll be easy to get.
