Each year our NW Austin Coldwell Banker United office likes to give back to our community in a variety of ways. One of our favorite activities is supporting the Austin Children's Shelter at Christmas. There are so many children that would not be having a Christmas if groups like ours didn't help donate gifts.
It’s fun to shop for these kids who are living in the Austin Children’s Shelter. I’d hate to think what a dismal day Christmas would be for them if groups did not make the decision to help.
We have a list of items requested and we also show it to our grandkids for ideas and always follow their recommendations!
On December 14th our gifts will be taken to the shelter…all unwrapped so they can decide how to distribute. I love the magic of Christmas!! There really is a Santa you know...if you believe…….

Hi Tamara,
It's a fun thing for our office to particpate in..we want to contribute every year and look forward to it!!
Hi Rob,
Every year we try and make a difference...without donations like ours I can't imagine what Christmas would be like for these kids.
Hi Gordon,
You are doing the same thing..we all want to make a difference!
Hi Beth,
You are right..to know you brought happiness to one of these children makes all the difference in the world.
Project Santa sounds like such a worthwhile organization, Dorie. Everyone should help them out.

Wonderful event Dorie. I bet you get a nice warm feeling all over, knowing your helping the children.
Dorrie-That is a very worthwhile cause. I imagine the kids are so grateful since they are coming from unpleasant situations. It's nice to do things that brighten up someone's day.
Dorie, this is so true, and I delivered my toy purchases to be wrapped today. It is important to step up and be sure these kids enjoy a Christmas!
