Adopting a family for the holidays...
Where do you do it?
When we lived in Renton we did it through the Salvation Army..When we moved to Ballard we couldn't find a close place so we sent gift cards to Solid Ground.
We donate quarterly to the Ballard Food Bank, so we'd prefer to find a family and/or grab an angel card somewhere.
We're open to other suggestions as well. We do not buy gifts for each other, we give back to the community.

jumped ship to the new and improved nest. back to TB for baby boards.
My company adopts families (one family per floor) through Overlake Service League, Phoenix Housing something (?) and Youth Eastside Services, then everyone on the floors buys gifts for the family members as well as does fundraising to provide the family with grocery gift cards. I think all of the organizations we've worked with are on the Eastside, but I'm sure there are some in Seattle if you're looking to help closer to home.
Great idea, and bravo to you and YH for helping others in the community in this way!

I usually grab a gift tag off of my company's Adopt a Family tree.
We always get our families through Child Haven, here's their website to adopt a family: http://www.childhaven.org/how-you-can-help/help-a-child-or-family/Adopt-a-Family.aspx
