1 Holiday Giving Program 2015 There are many reasons to enjoy the upcoming holidays. For the youth of The Children's Home, the holidays mean a direct connection with the support and generosity of the community through our annual Holiday Giving Program. The Children s Home is a residential facility for youth in out-of-home placement due to abuse, neglect, and/or abandonment. Individuals, families, organizations, and corporations participate to make this holiday season joyful for the residents in our care. We invite you to experience the joy of giving to children and youth who have experienced difficulties in their lives. Each year donors to the Holiday Giving Program provide gifts and/or activities for the many boys and girls who call The Children s Home their home as well as the children in our Treatment Foster Care Program. Residents at The Children's Home range in age from 13 to 21. Ages vary for our Treatment Foster Care program. If you want to purchase specific gifts for specific residents, we will provide Wish Lists on our website at: in early November. We will also provide a set of guidelines to assist donors. The Children s Home is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. All gifts and donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. If you have questions or need assistance, contact Gail L. Lee, Director of Development, at x 131 or at glee@thechildrenshome.net. With your help, we can make the 2015 holiday season special for our residents. 205 Bloomsbury Avenue Catonsville MD
