You can either do a food hamper or sponsor a family for clothing or household items they may need. I usually sponsor a single Mom and her children.
The first names of the family are given with a wish list for each of the members in the family. Sizes are given and color preferences so it is a pretty easy process. You can buy as little or as much on the wish list as you want. Usually the mother asks for things mainly for her children.
I always include a food voucher for the grocery store nearest them and then include some board games for the family, maybe some movie or zoo tickets or transit passes, and an air blower popcorn maker and popcorn.
You are given a drop off date and time and locatoin.
