Christmas celebration for the children at Art of Living, and our theme is The Grinch! 🎄 Their smiles and happiness are truly the best gift of all.
To make this event special, we need your help! Whether through adopting a child for our gift program, donating items or service for the party, or volunteering your time, your contributions can make a world of difference.
🎁 Adopt-a-Child Gift Program
We’re continuing our tradition of adopting a child to bring them personalized presents. When you sign up, you’ll receive details about your child’s sizes, preferences, and wishes. https://signup.com/go/duTzqrj.
Gift Guidelines: Each adopted child should receive:
A jacket
Two gifts
Clothes/Shoes (if possible)
Many people have asked in the past amount how many items or budget. Well to keep it fair and festive, gifts last year averaged $200–$500 per child, combining clothing, shoes, and presents.
Important Note: We currently have 23 children on our list, with up to 4 more possibly joining as families arrive weekly. If you’d like to adopt, please consider adopting a maximum of 2 children to allow more people to participate. Consider adopting one with a friend/family member and divide the list.
