Every year the Orleans post office has a tree with wish lists from children
identified by the MA Dept. of Social Services. The boys and girls share the
hope that someone will read their wish list and help make them come true.
For those who are on Cape at that time, please consider stopping by the tree
in early December and choose a gift tag to fulfill. For neighbors who are
not in Orleans during Christmastime I would be happy to help coordinate gift
tags(send them to you at your winter addresses) and/or shop locally with
your contributions, send you the store receipt and deliver the gift bags to
the post office. Last year when I sent this out, some people asked me to
remind them about this earlier so I know this is very early but I thought
I'd plant a seed :) If anyone would like to shop and coordinate this with
me, I'd love to collaborate on helping these kids feel someone cares. My mom
was one of the kids who received kindness in her impoverished childhood so I
honor her memory this way.
Thank you~
