Need Christmas Ideas for Donating (Vanity)

Posted on 12/03/2009 11:42:48 AM PST by AUJenn

My husband and I have decided this year not to give each other extravagant Christmas gifts, and are not going to be able to purchase large presents for his or my extended family either. We will only be able to give simple, useful, needed items for close family and friends.

Instead, we would like to do something for a needy, struggling family. We'd prefer to do it anonymously and be able to provide them with a nice holiday. We just don't need "things" this year, and I'd much rather help out someone who does. We both feel that the true meaning of Christmas has been lost in the last few years with the crazy chaos of gifts and everyone trying to out-do each other.

Could any Freepers suggest a reputable organization or group that I could get in touch with about this? If you've worked with a group that helps with Christmas donations such as this, I'd appreciate any ideas.
