Donating hats, gloves, and new socks to children in need. Many are homeless or living with parents who have lost jobs. One item will make a difference.

2006...

We took a small break in 2005 because I had just had Luke and it was a little crazy to try and plan and carry out the fundraiser with a newborn.

2006 started off with a kick-off dinner for our family and friends. We couldn't do this without grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, neighbors, and classmates. Everyone is so supportive. The kids once again handed out flyer's around the neighborhood. They made a goal of 75 of each this year, and once again they reached and surpassed!

This was the year that we found JCIT (Jordan Student Intervention Team). It is a program located at Midvale Elementary. It is a collaborate community plan designed to help families who are facing stressful situations. We were thrilled to find a place where we could help the children in our own community who needed it. Families can go to a little store inside of Midvale Elementary and get the hats, gloves, and socks and other items they need for free. If their store receives more donations than they can handle they are able to share with other school districts. How perfect!






We even decorated a tree for festival of the trees! Dressed with Hat's, Gloves and Stockings!!
