We are overwhelmed with all the support we have from our community this time of year! There are 3 ways we need help to meet current needs -

1. Are you part of a group wanting to help? Can you swap out your white elephant gift exchange and help a sibling group instead? Able to ask everyone coming to Thanksgiving to help meet one of the needs or wishes of a kid we serve? We added 2 larger sibling groups to our holiday list today and they are an awesome opportunity for a group to work together!

2. Today we learned of 4 kids served by a locality in the western part of Virginia desperately in need of support this holiday season! Because we have such an amazing group of supporters, we said YES! They should be added to our list tomorrow)

3. Where are our December birthday people? They’ll all tell you that December birthdays are often overlooked. We still have two RVA December birthdays needing a sponsor!

[Can’t help or already helping? Not a worry - loving this post and sharing it with your networks helps more than you know!]
