Making Our Holidays Merry & Bright
At the beginning of the holiday season we publish a Holiday Wish List containing any number of items relayed by our staff that our children have asked for. Ranging from bibs to DVDs, arts and crafts to dolls, each toy is a wish and a gift for the child that receives it, and we count on the generosity of others to help us fulfill those wishes.
