Battered Women's Shelter

We call the local women's shelter and find out what they need. Then we send a letter home to the parents listing the items we could use. One year we had the kids wrap all the stuff, but it really makes extra work for the shelter volunteers. Now, we just have the kids organize the gifts. At first they hate it, but they do come around and learn that it is more blessed to give than receive. We usually have someone from the shelter come and speak to the kids. The kids usually ask some great questions. After all this, they really know what Christmas is all about.
