Green Holiday Challenge: Give

By: Mona Metzger

December 2009

If the holiday challenge for you this year is finding the perfect gift within your budget, we've got an answer!  Give yourself a wonderful gift this year by giving to someone less fortunate.  It's affordable and the pay-off is endless warm fuzzies for you and the opportunity to ensure someone less fortunate gets to celebrate.

There are many underprivileged children in the Houston area.  You can help.

Here's how:

As PhillipCares Foundation embarks on its 3rd year of providing Christmas for children from CPS, Foster Care, a designated elementary school, autism group, and selected families, they are ask for your help. Every year there are children that through no fault of their own have no Christmas whatsoever. This year theya re asking help from companies, individuals, organizations, and corporations to help us provide a fun time for those under-served children.   They are also making sure that any and all that sponsor a child for at least $100 will be recognized with a placard placed on a bike with a bag of toys as the donor for this child receiving this great Christmas gift –which includes breakfast, a movie, lunch, a bag of toys and a bike).  Also feel free to pass this info on to those that may be interested in helping us provide those under-served children with a wonderful holiday.

You can donate your time or select the sponsorship level that fits within your own budget.
