No, but I do the NYC Charity thing where they send you the name of a child and their list of wants and you send them what you want to. I usually do two or three kids.

It's the NYCares Winter Wishes for kids...

Registration Begins for Winter Wishes for Kids and Families and the Annual Coat Drive

Date: Monday, October 20

This winter, New York Cares will help fulfill the holiday wishes of more than 30,000 disadvantaged New Yorkers through our Winter Wishes for Kids and Families Program. You can be a Winter Wish Maker by signing up to answer gift requests from children, teens, or family members of all ages.

Each December, New York Cares also collects almost 90,000 gently used winter coats and distributes them to thousands of men, women and children who would otherwise go without. You can help this year by hosting a coat collection, donating a coat, or making a financial donation.

I adopt a family from our church, sometimes its parents & kids, sometimes the parents don't want anything so its just the kids.

Last year we also picked a family from Newsday & made a donation to them.
