Snowcap Christmas Giving Tree is up

One of the groups that meets at Park Place are working with me to sponsor a giving tree in support of Snowcap.  Today I received the attached list from the Director of Snowcap. The Portland Cup of Coffee Networkers group decorated the tree and will sponsor this effort.

The sad part of the message she sent was this was just the list of wishes from children in need who were at the food bank TODAY.  So, there are many more children the other six days of the week who also have a Christmas wish to be fulfilled.  If you would like to pick up one of these children's wishes, please come by Park Place and pick their star from the tree. If you have other items, such as food or presents to bring to Snowcap I have included their link here as well.  All gifts must be returned by December 18th.

Here is the list you'll find on the stars at Park Place:
