Does your heart break at the thought of deprived kids who will get no presents this holiday season? Mine, too. (Proof, I suppose, that I have one.) Thanks to the ease of buying from an Amazon wishlist, you can do something awesome about this without getting up from the computer.

Each year The Family Center provides thousands of toys to their families during the holiday season…Because of the generosity of our partners, we are able to give every single child at least three gifts ranging from clothing to art supplies to action figures.

Those receiving Family Center services represent New York’s most vulnerable populations and approximately 95% live below the poverty line. Many have trouble putting food on the table, let alone buying holiday presents for their children. These holiday gifts give joy to children who normally live in the midst of chaos and grief.

Just go to the Family Center’s Amazon wishlist, buy a gift (or several), and you’re done. You can even get free shipping on many of the gifts. Thanks to Stephen for the heads-up. (And thanks again to all of you who already did something wonderful by helping me exceed my goal in filling my online kettle for the Salvation Army.)
