Last year's holiday party for children wtih special needs and their families was outstanding! Thank you to the sponsorship of Tovar TSP in Elgin, 220 children came out to eat a great buffet, enjoy face painting and a balloon artist, and of course the morning's highlight - a welcomed visit from Santa Claus himself and Mrs. Claus! Each child went home with a bag of presents and every family went home with a bag of groceries and a calendar.
Each child was adopted out and sponsors came from local businesses, churches, banks, community clubs and neighborhood families. Without the generosity of our adopters, the kids would not have had the Christmas they had!
Some of our annual adopters include employees at Naperville Police Department, Pella Doors & Windows in West Chicago, Catholic Order of Foresters in Naperville, West Chicago State Bank, Glen Arbor Church in West Chicago and Trinity Lutheran Church in Warrenville. And we can't forget so many great individuals and families in Aurora, West Chicago, Naperville, Wheaton and Warrenville for going over and beyond what they needed to!
If you are interested in adopting a child with special needs and/or a sibling OR have a child with special needs and would like to be a part of this annual highlight, please email us at thesimplegiftsfoundation@gmail.org or call at 630/405-5020.
Those adopting a child(ren) will be given all the information they need to have a great shopping and giving experience – child's first name, age, gender, disability & level of functioning (if applicable), basic needs items that are needed (coat, pants, shirt, socks, undergarments, shoes or boots) and a few ideas of wishes. There is no set amount of what you need to spend – you decide what is best for you and your family or organization to spend and have fun doing it! This is a great opportunity for churches, banks, businesses, book clubs, neighborhood groups, your office or service clubs to help others in need!
