However you may say it, the holidays are a time of giving, family and peace.
The economy in the past year has taken a toll on quite a few members of our HCW community. Each of them are having difficulties coming up with the money to pay for their child(rens) gifts. As a family always does, we here at HCW come together to make Christmas a special day for many of those children.
This secret pal exchange is to help those children in need.
Parents, if you are having a hard time buying gifts for your child(ren), please read below to see if you are eligible to apply for this swap. We want to help as many children as we can but we do have a few requirements that need to be met first.
Or, if the economy hasn't affected you too badly and you'd like to donate some gifts to a child in need, we need you to apply, too!! Please see how you can play
for a lucky child or children.
Sign-ups until November 13th
