Thank you! ….. for your interest in holiday giving for the kids at Children’s Home Society! Attached is the CHS “Christmas Wish List”. These are collective wishes from our classrooms, living units, foster care & adoption workers, family therapists, the nurses, cooks, and support staff that all have a part in caring for our kids. These wishes are shared by all the kids at CHS. There are lots of things to choose from! We prefer that gifts are 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, offer a tour of CHS if you like, 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. Thank You for remembering our kids! Merry Christmas!
