Project Santa ~ Austin Children's Shelter ~ Our Giving Tree 2012

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

Gene and DorieEach 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…….

"The joy of brightening a child's heart creates the magic of Christmas"                                -- W. C. Jones

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.
