Looking for Christmas Spirit

I am a single mother and preschool teacher. I am looking for a program or group that are willing to help low-inome families at Christmas time. Someone who can play Santa to my class. Who is wiling to take their Christmas lists and purchase at least one item. Because most of them don't get the things that ask for, they only get the things they need (shoes, clothing, etc...) because their parents can't afford the other items.

What can I do next?

K., did you find someone who would answer your letters? I've been asking around and I think that I could do at least 1 class. Can you call me? Home is ###-###-#### and work is ###-###-####, cell is ###-###-####. Thanks!

I remember when my kids were in pre-school, we used to take a card, giving details about a child and what they wanted for Xmas. We would buy something off that list for the child. I think in my particular case it was a church-affiliated program, but what about contacting a private pre-school or grade school to see if they wanted to do that for your kids. Perhaps looking through Chicago Parent might give you some ideas, and phone numbers to ask for help.

K., We have a christmas party every year where our guests bring gifts for children and we give those gifts usually to toys for tots, but I'd love to help your class. Let me know if this sounds like what you're looking for. THanks, S.

Hi K.,

I would be happy to personally purchase a few gifts for your students. If you want to send me a few of the items and an address to mail them to, I would love to help. Also, there is an organization in the Chicago area that works with the post office to deliver Christmas gifts on Christmas eve to low income children. I unfortunately cannot remember the name of the organization, but if I can dig it up, I'll send it along. You can likely find it if you contact the post office.

Hope this helps!

Hi K.,

Where is your school located?
I work for Citigroup and we are always looking for creative ways to give back to the communities we serve. Normally there should be a Citibank office near the school - My office is in Bridgeport but if you tell me where you are at maybe I can refer you to the manager of the closes office
