Spreading Christmas Cheer to Foster Children Is Now Our Family Tradition
Today’s guest post is written by Angela Foremaster, a freshman at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Earlier this year, Angela was named Nevada's top high school volunteer of 2012 by The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards for collecting small gifts to fill Christmas stockings for foster children and homeless teens in the greater Las Vegas area.
During the Christmas season, it seems like everyone is looking for ways to help others. I wanted to do something special that would make a difference. I established a project that donates Christmas stockings to children in foster care. My starting goal was to donate 100 stockings to one organization; I ended up with 250 stockings that we donated to two organizations.
