Saratoga Christmas Adopt-A-Family

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HELPED THIS HOLIDAY SEASON 2007!!

The Giving Circle, Inc. announces a special action to help needy children in Saratoga County this Holiday Season.  Our goal is to help as many struggling families as possible. Below are the "wish lists" of our ten neediest families, who are part of Saratoga County's Project Lift program through the Franklin Community Center. We also have one very special family (family #11) that is not part of Project Lift, but is coping with some extraordinary challenges.

If you or your family would like to purchase and send/deliver gifts to a family for holidays, please contact us to let us know the family # from the list below so we can help you coordinate the gift delivery.

We also welcome contributions that we will use to purchase gifts/gift cards for your selected family. Please send donations for your adopted family to The Giving Circle, Inc. P.O. Box 3162 Saratoga Springs, NY 12866, or online through Network For Good. Please indicate the family # from the list below, or if you would like it to go where most needed.
