Thank you!
….. for your generosity and interest in holiday giving that will benefit the kids of Children’s Home Society at Sioux Falls Children’s Home!
These are wishes that are needed in classrooms, in living units, by foster care & adoption workers, and by the nurses, cooks, and support staff that all have a part in caring for our kids. There are lots of things to choose from!
We do prefer that gifts arrive unwrapped for easier sorting and organization. Gifts can be delivered December 16th, 17th, or 18th. Please call and let us know when you plan to come, so we can be on hand to meet you, to help you unload, and to thank you!

If you see an item (or items) from the list that you would like to provide, please call Debra Moritz at (605) 965-3136 or email deb.moritz@chssd.org. We will take your choice(s) off the list when only one is needed.
Please feel free to forward this email to others who are looking for an opportunity to fulfill Christmas wishes for some very special kids!

Merry Christmas!
