For the past five years, Creek Kids and their families have participated in our Holiday Angel Project. It’s one of my personal favorites. The concept is similar to an “Adopt a Family,” but in this case, participants “sponsor” a Fresh Start member for the holidays. To get the project going, we ask that Fresh Start members respond to a wish list questionnaire. From there, each CKC participant will get one wish list (or more if wanted) and that person/family/group will shop for that Fresh Start member. This is a very intimate reminder to the shoppers of the reality of living outside.

Your children’s participation in this project will shift your holidays in a more meaningful direction. In the past, families,friends, youth groups and scout troops have sponsored a Fresh Start member for this project. Please consider. We have around 20 wish lists. At this point, we need about 14 more participants. Hope you can join us!

Past Angels have tracked down bikes, purchased gift certificates to the movies, etc., all depending upon what is asked for.

Please let us know if you’d like to participate. Contact Laura at laura@creekkids.org.

Many thanks to those of you who came to the Farmer’s Market to purchase our wares! We had a great day — enlivened by some rather innovative sales techniques…Total sales came over $500, so it was well worth our time.

Thank you to Hannah Rosen, Henry and Allison Johnson, Kelly Mallon, Simon Krueger, Harry Miller, Sean and Ryan McGough, Abby Freemire and Sara Chen for volunteering to sell. We’re talking about selling once a month at the Market — so news of that later.
