I have to admit....I have not been doing a good job at the 30-Day Giving Challenge! I planned on gutting the house for donatable items the first two days and not much of that got done. Monday afternoon I had to go to town and Tuesday late morning I had to go to town again. And of course, Wednesday...well, I might as well mark all Wednesdays off my calendar to begin with! Although I did do something that is particularly hard for me to do yesterday for someone else. So I do count that as "giving" of myself.
Now on to the rest of the 30-Day Challenge... Today, I came across the JCPenney/Salvation Army Angel Giving Tree, very similar to the KSBJ Giving Tree they have done in the past and are doing again this year. And there are about 12 children in our area listed on here to be "adopted" for Christmas. So I thought I'd share this with anyone interested. They make it real easy for you to shop off of JCPenney.com and ship the items for FREE. But you may also shop wherever you like and ship them or deliver them!


As for the KSBJ Giving Tree, so far there are only about 38 needs listed. But I'm sure that will grow to several hundred. I searched and found 3 for Conroe, but none for Huntsville yet. Last year there were several from Huntsville. I know for many families, like ours, we are not always able to meet large needs, but I can sure help spread the word, so maybe someone out there can, or a group can get together and help another family in need.

Help spread the word! Or get together a group to "adopt" a family in need this year!
