Join us in making a needy child feel loved on Christmas morning with a gift from you. We will be ordering lunch at El Toro Bravo if you would like to join us. Or you can just drop off your gift(s) a little before noon. See below for other drop off options if you cannot make the 17th. Please do not select a child and then do not bring a gift. For many of these children, this is the only gift they will get. We don't want to leave anyone out.
