3rd Annual Ronald McDonald House Christmas Outreach

It’s that time again!
Joy.Love Outreach (my non-profit) is preparing for it’s 3rd annual Christmas Outreach to the Ronald McDonald Houses of Denver, Colorado!
Our first year (2008) we assembled stockings for 31 families of one location of the RMH.  Last year (2009) we were able to include both RMH’s of Denver and we assembled 76 stockings.
This Christmas (2010) our goal is to give each of the 76 families currently staying at the Ronald McDonald Houses a $25.00 Visa Gift Card.  If there is any money left over, we’d also like to buy toys for each house that they can give out to their patients or the siblings and families of their patients.  They are little tokens that mean the world to some people.  Each gift card will be enclosed in a hand-written Christmas card to the family.
We’ve had some people interested in donating to the 2010 RMH Outreach (hence this post), so below is the information for donating to Joy.Love Outreach. All donations will need to be received by Friday, December 17, 2010 in order to be put towards this years outreach.  Any donations received after this date will be kept for the 2011 RMH Christmas Outreach.

You can mail checks to:

Joy.Love Outreach is a 501(c)3 and you will receive a tax receipt for your donation (make sure we have your email address so we can email you the tax receipt in a pdf format).
Thank you in advance for helping us bless these families!  I don’t think most of us realize how special something like this is to those families – especially at this time of the year!
Feel free to ask any questions you may have about this outreach.
You can visit our website at the address below. For some reason the album with photos from last year isn’t showing up.  I’ll work on that so you can see them.
