Since 2018, Life Choice has hosted a Giving Tree to support clients who might not otherwise receive Christmas gifts. Each ornament includes a client’s needs—and a couple of their wishes. The need grows every year, and this year we’re excited to bring back our Amazon Wishlist so more people can join in!

🛒 How to Give:
• Shop directly from the Amazon Wishlist — items disappear once purchased.
• Want to shop elsewhere? No problem! Check the notes for sizes & preferences.
• If you buy items outside Amazon, email Chelsie (chelsie@lifechoice-in.com) with the item info + quantity so we can track availability and arrange pickup if needed.

📅 Important Dates:
• Dec 3: Last day to volunteer for items
• Dec 9: All gifts due to the Admin Team
• Dec 10: Wrapping & prep for distribution

Thank you for helping us brighten someone’s Christmas! 🫶

🚨 PSA for all our friends in the disability services field! 🚨

There are phishing scams going around where people receive emails asking them to edit a file, view a document, or open a link that looks like it came from someone on their team.

If you get ANY email like that — especially if it feels random or urgent — don’t click it!
✔️ Verify with your Case Manager, Program Coordinator, Behavior Consultant, etc. first to make sure it actually came from them.
✔️ Scammers are getting better at making messages look legit, so double-checking can save you a huge headache.

Stay safe, stay smart, and spread the word! 🛡️📧✨
