My grandpa used to be called Santa. He had this organization where he used to deliver presents to children who couldn't afford them. He was a nice man. He had obstacles though. Some people wouldn't appreciate the things he did. They would think he was trespassing or doing something illegal. They didn't understand the work he did for these children. They didn't want to understand.

In my city we have a school group that gives presents. We deliver them the homes of the children. We deliver the presents on Christmas Eve. We have many obstacles. We encounter difficulties getting the presents delivered. We didn't have a way to get the presents delivered and it was almost Christmas Eve. We didn't have any type of transportation. The day before Christmas Eve is when we get the presents ready.

Saving money is very important if you're experiencing financial hardship during the holiday season. Fortunately, there are many ways to find free Christmas gifts. If you visit several different websites to find your free gifts, you may be able to pull off Christmas this year without spending a penny. However, for best results you have to be diligent and get started early. Free Christmas gifts are available for people of all income groups. If you have a very low income or have lost your job, there are many charities that can help. Even if you're not eligible for aid through a charitable organization, there are still plenty of ways that you can get Christmas gifts for free.

Every year me and my church group gather everyone up and we all get a bunch of shoe boxes and we make them and we put little things in it like socks small toys and other things.It is called Operation Christmas child.It is where after we make the boxes we gather theall up and put them at my church and we have a certain goal hat we make every year to see if we can make it.After we make them we mail them off to all different parts of the world where it is the worst. We are really happy when we hear about what the kids were like when we sent the gifts off. Most of the kids out there don't even have what we have and it makes us happy to see them smile at our gifts.

In our small group every Christmas eve we deliver presents. Not just presents to random people, but we give presents to kids and people who can not afford it. We believe that everyone should get a Christmas present on Christmas day. We are not just doing it for money or anything, actually we don't even get no money for it. The Christmas presents we but is from us and its our money.

Our small group does many things for our community. One thing we do is every Christmas eve we deliver toys to the needy in the area. We do this almost every year. We have many people donate toys, gifts, & much more. We do not only give the toys to the children in our community, we give to anyone we see in need.

In my story there is a group called The Gifters. Every year this group delivers presents to the Guyton community. The group goes through a lot of trouble doing this, but it is worth it. First they have to get everyone's address, and the children's Christmas list(s). Also they must get the gifts to the parent(s) secretly, because some children still believe in Santa Claus. Also they must buy all the gifts before Christmas Eve. Plus every gift has to be gift wrapped!

In a city where there is a school group who delivers presents to peoples houses. I think that it would be good and bad. I think it is good for many reasons. Although I have a few reasons for it being kind of creepy or bad. I think one of the main good reasons for this is Its a nice thing to do and you could make a persons day. I think it is a bad idea or thought because it seems kind of weird.

Once in a gloomy town (when it wasn't gloomy), named Kathleen, everyone was so happy there. Kids would play with toys everyday. Then one day there was a ruler named Scrooge. He did not like Christmas & children, so he quote "No one or child shall have any toys, EVER!". At first the children were sad, but they soon in time forgotten what the Christmas day even was. There was no laughter, no happiness, not even a little bit of cheer. The town became very gloomy & very lonely. What the kids did for the days was work & do more work. Everyone feared of the ruler, Scrooge. One toy in site & your put to jail, why is he like this you may ask, no one may never know!

I think a school group that could give out presents to kids is FCA. I think it would be weird because how would they know what the kids want. It would be really nice to give kids presents if the kids parents couldnt afford presents. They would incounter several problems. One of them is getting to their house and putting it in the house.

In my city we record what the children say. At the end of the day we look up every kids name and see were they live. When we find out were they live we go and buy the presents and wait until Christmas. When we buy the presents we stack them up neatly.

There are many organizations that help out children during the Christmas. Around this time of year, Salvation Army takes part in helping out children. They collect money for toys to be bought for children. With the money that was collected, children will wake up with a gift under the Christmas tree. Salvation Army provides many things for needy children, such as clothes, toys,etc. Many news programs host toy drop offs. They give those gifts to needy families. However many of these organizations can deal with obstacles.

If schools had a group where you can go out and give kids presents that their moms and dads cant afford because they have lost their job , or just how the economy is today. Even if that family doesnt celebrate christmad they can try and convince them to come together and celebrate christmas as a family. It could help people become alot more closer than they have been.

I think children would be so much happier if they got to open up Christmas presents with their family. Also it can teach kids how to be thankful for what they got. Another thing is giving things to people is really nice and makes you a leader or a better person.

And they heard that there are some kids in the neighboorhood that wasn't going to get any presents for Christmas. The kids were so shocked and surprised that they were not getting anything. After about three hours of thinking they finally figured out something they could do. Everybody was just brain storming of ideas that may help. Then it finally hit someone . Hey we could go around and deliver the presents ourselves. They all gathered some money so they can have gas money. As there gathering the last bit of money they notice that the weather was getting pretty harsh. It was getting really cold . They kids are heading out to their first house. When they arrived the kid had a big smile on his face. He was so surprised he couldn't believe it. The kid gave them a big MERRY CHRISTMAS. The kids replied with a big THANKS. The kids had a little more deliveries to deliver. They were almost done when suddenly it started getting even colder. At first they all had doubt ,but they all made it safely

I am apart of a school group that is going to give some children presents. We give the children presents who dont have any. Some kids dont get presents. so thats why we are giving them presents. we also give presents to children in orphans. They dont have presents because their mommy or daddy probably dont bring them any. some of the children dont even have parents to get presents from. they love the presents we give them.

The name of this organization is would be " HURT FREE". It would be that name because we wont hurt the kids by not giving them presents. We would care for them and cherish them. The kinds of obstacles that they encounter is that they might have spent lots of money on the presents but don't know where the people live. That's right because they won't have to know where they live because its a unexpected gift. They would have lots of privacy for that moment but not really because they would have to come to their door to get their presents. Privacy is a big thing to some people on a holiday. Maybe it's not such a big idea to some people.

If there was people going house to house giving prsents to people that would be weird. There are many people in a city. New York has tons of people in it. It would be hard because some people have companies that protect peoples houses. You would have to go around those. It would be very hard to do that. They moniter every window and door. They moniter evey entrance. Some even have cameras.

Everyone from around the county comes to give and to receive cause some people serve food while their there cause it was too cold to do anything that morning even thought it go warmer by the hours of the day.

An organizational group called G.L.O.W. Ministries delivers presents to all the little children every year. The neighborhood really can care less about their privacy b/c their really poor. That’s why GLOW delivers to them every year. Glow thinks or calls as themselves as the “Santa helper who help Santa deliver presents” to the needy. Any way so they are gathering up, making, and buying presents for the little kids. So That the little children can have a happy holiday and a good time. Now there are some families who don’t know what this holiday is or celebrate it.

Have you gave something to charity in the holiday time period? The items usually go to needy families. I remember when I gave items for needy families. Giving to fortunate families is good thing because you can make them happier. Have you ever wondered who delivered these toys? There is one group of people who deliver these toys. They are called the Determined Deliverers. The Determined Deliverers want to make a difference.

Today was the big day for Sophie and her middle school group "Present for Peace". Every Christmas, the Presents for Peace organization would raise money for presents to give to the people who might not be financially able to afford Christmas gifts. Sophie, the leader, decided that they do this so that they try something new this year. This would be the first time the group would actually be traveling house to house and give the presents to the families personally. Sophie knew that this would be the perfect idea. Not only would it be helping out the families, it would also give the gang the opportunity to experience the real joy of Christmas when they see the smiling faces of those children. The group bought many toys using the money they had previously raised. Sophie decided that they go to the homes a week before Christmas so the families would have time to wrap and hide the presents. What could possibly go wrong?

Have you ever felt bad for people who cant afford christmas presents? Have you ever wanted to do something about this? I am in this group in my neighborhood that donates toys and gifts to the less fortunate in town. Even the people who do not celebrate this holiday; we still give them a couple of gifts just to make them happy. We usually donate a couple hundread of gifts and toys and clothes to families per year.

There is a organization called the giving tree. the organization picks the best behaved and the most needest students in the school.What it does they give the slected students a sheet where they write down all they things they want for Christmas and the school use they resreved to go out and buy these gifts for them.The problems they face were that they had limited money. So they can only buy some of the gifts on the students list or buy the cheapest thing that is closeset to the thing they wanted.Another problem htey faced was how to give the presents to the slected student without the students who werent selected from see and stealing the presents from them.For the people who do not celebrate this holiday they had the choice of ethier takeing presents they recive or give they away for the needy.Even thouh most choose to take the presents they recive. This is a real organaztion at west chatham middle school and I was on it one time in 5th grade.

This story talks about a group of people. There place is secret and they were never caught. Some says that they have seen them but no one ever believes them. the group of people goes around and give sings of what's going to happen. They wont leave a note but they can leave pictures of it. The only reason they knew it was a group is because they put different group names or club names. Most kids want to know but if they were close to finding out they would do something to scare them away.

There are a lot of different organizations that help underprivileged kids at Christmas time. All of them are different and the same at the same time. Churches help those in their neighborhoods. The Salvation Army also has a program that helps those in need. There is also Toys For Tots. All you have to do is look or listen and you will find some organization that is will to help. They are always trying to get help to raise funds or accepting toy donations to be used for Christmas. Although I am not personally involved in any of these very worthy causes they are very important to everyone.

So many people dont celebrate Christmas, because they dont have the money. A group in my school decided to take presents to the homes of children for Christmas. They didnt want these kids to have a horrible Christmas. They encountered alot of obsticales along the way. For example, they dont know what to get the children. Although, kids that live in these situations arent usually picky, they want them to enjoy their gift. They also dont know whether the parents will except the gifts or not. This group wants to make an impact on these kids life.

In addition, this group doesnt know what the kids need. For instance, if they get them clothes, then what sizes to they get. This group, is afraid of what the parents would think. Sone people are so private about their life, they wouldnt except the gifts, but then others would. They just dont know the important things they need to know. One exanple is, what are the ages and genders of the children. This would help them get an idea of what the children might like. My School Group is wanting to buy presents for as many kids as they need to.

Lastly, there are so many children that theu have bought for, they are so excitedto take them the presents. The first couple houses they go to, they parents were so thankful for what they did. Then they came to a house where the parent doesnt want to except the gifts, because she feels bad for not being able to buy the present herself. So, the group gave the mom the present and told her to give it to them and say it was from her. At first, she hesitated but then she took it. That mother was so happy for their generosity, she couldnt quit thanking them. This one group was able to make these childrens dreams come true. They aslo were able to help a mom by letting her take credit for the presents. They didnt care if the children knew it was from them, they just wanted the children to have a good Christmas and make an impact in the lives of children and parents.

Every year around the holidays the FFA which is Future Farmers of America, take time out to give food and presents to some of the needy families in there city. Some years have been successful and some not so good. As with any organization, you will run into obstacles. Some manageable some unmanageable. such as religions and believes.

Our school has a holiday project this year. It is called “Giving The Spirit”. They will be delivering gifts to children in our community who will not be getting presents this Christmas. My family loves to give gifts at this time of year. I would like to be a part of this group because I feel so lucky myself and would like to share with others. The gifts have been donated that we will be delivering. We will meet at the school this Friday and decide how to deliver them.

In a place on the outkirts of the biggest city in the world, there was a secret group that was only operational in the winter. This group was a branch off of what Santa does. They also help make people believe in Santa. This group also believes in giving people coal if they still don't believe in Santa. Their group also has operations across the globe. They have gone through a lot of training to do what they do. If they compromise what they do, they get a piece of coal for Christmas every year. This organization is called S.A.N.T.A.

"What are we going to do, this is our first year of course" Aqua said. "Do not worry, I have the supplies right here" Duncan said as he was putting Christmas presents on the table. "Lets go, we first need to locate fellow Presenters" Josh said. The three then went to pick locations for giving presents to people there. They set out to place presents in nearby warehouses. They had a total amount of 500,0000 presents sitting in wait for those people who are going to get a present; they are extremely poor. They had to get legal ownership over those warehouses, which took a whole year to get permissions. They also had get the money to get the presents which is about 1 million dollars.

There is a group called The Givers kinda like the book. This is a large group of people that give all kinds of gifts to others. Every winter they do this for parents and children. What the parents do is they go to this organization and give the front desk the children's list of what they want. Then those people give that list to the runners. The runners are separate groups that go out and buy these gifts. These people give the gifts to the rappers that are stationed at the company. These rappers rap the presents then put a tag on it that says from Santa to the little kids name.

The organization called "Japvos" donates toys to kids with low income. Many kids can not afford presents for Christmas. We try to help families have presents so they will have a fun time. We do have many obstacles when sending presents. We have to decide, pack, and send the toy in a time limit. We also have other problems. We have to pick toys kids like. We don't want them to be disappointed.

When it comes around christmas time, many people like to help out families that cannot afford christmas. Schools, churches, stores, and groups of people love to raise money and collect toys for the children that do not get them. Honestly, I would do the same.This time of year, some children will wake up on christmas with no presents. But for others, they will be getting gifts left and right.

When it comes to helping under privileged kids. It is or duty to help children in need. Kids do not appreciate what they get for christmas. There are some kids that don't even get anything for Christmas. We should make it so students have a chance to come and donate to the needy children. So that everybody can get something for Christmas.

Around Christmas, many people like to be more nice than usual. They act more kind and loving towards others. Well this one particular group decided they wanted to give toys to the less fortunate. They wanted to be nice and help out kids that needed it. This group, was named the "Santa's Helpers". They began their journey on helping kids on Christmas Eve.

My church helps an organization called operation shoebox. We take a shoebox, fill it up with toys, and we ship it off to a country that doesn't have enough money to pay for children's Christmas. We have a variety of stuff like, socks, jump rope, and coloring books; we put in stuff that the children would like. It makes you feel very good inside to know that these underprivileged children get a Christmas.

In a town where people gave a group of toys to kids in need, i would be in that group helping kids have a good Christmas.The group would be called "The Toy Givers"and we would deliver presents like Santa. The only thing I would worry about is the privacy of the kids and family's in the small town.

Every year on Christmas Eve, the youth group at my church, goes around to peoples homes and gives presents. They provide presents for kids. They mainly give the presents to the underprivileged families. The underprivileged families are the families that can't provide gifts for there children. The youth group has helped out many families each year. The youth group my come across some sad situations. We also come across some people that do not celebrate Christmas. Even though they may not celebrate the holiday, we still provide the gifts for them.

In a little town called Jackson their is a group of people called the Gift givers. Every year on Christmas eve the Gift givers deliver toys to every child in town. From dolls to toy trains the Gift givers work hard all year around to make these toys for the children. Many people think that Santa Clause delivers presents to everyone. Well he does in major cities, but he gets the help of groups like the Gift Givers to make and the deliver toys in their small communities. With that being said the Gift givers face many of the challenges that Santa faces.

As Christmas rolls around, children all around the world make a Christmas list. They add so many things they want, but a lot of them do not know many other kids cannot receive gifts. As a child, until the day you die, you will always want more than what you do have. Many people do not realize how fortunate they are compared to others in today's society. For some of the few who did realize this, they made it their life's work to help children who are not able to get Christmas presents, their organization was called Tots for Toys.

I this little town called Springfield we have organized a group that goes around on Christmas Eve and gives presents to all of the children of the city. This organization is call the Effingham Present Deliverers. Many children in this city look forward to the Christmas holiday because every year the EPD brings them presents. This group does this all from the greatness of their hearts. People like this are well appreciated by the community.

wow this would be hard. people don't like interruption in their houses. so that would be one of the many obstacles you would encounter. there are a lot of reasons why it would be hard and easy to do it.

My city is called ciciville. We do things a little different for Christmas. Every year we want our christmas delivering to be perfect. What we do is ask all the children to come to the mall, sit on Santa's lap, and ask him what they want for Christmas. Santa's helpers write each kid name down on a piece of paper, and all the things they want for Christmas. We then take all the papers and start to find all of the items the little children asked for. Except, this concept is only for the less fortunate. Other words, children parents who can't afford their children's Christmas wish list. The parents of the children are so happy that we have this system in my village. Sometimes they break down in tears. But, this year.... Things were going wrong.

In the world not everyone gets gifts on Christmas. Some people are just so poor that they cant afford gifts for their families. That's why there are these special organizations that help these families out. There are tons of these organizations all around the country. One of my favorite organizations during Christmas time is Angel Tree. The Angel Tree is a ministry of prison fellowship, delivering love in a form of Christmas presents. The founder of Angel Tree is Chuck Colson.

It's the month of December. Kids favorite time of the year. It's the month of Christmas. You hear bells and carols everywhere you go. You see moms and dads searching for toys that their kids asked for. But wht about families that can't afford Christmas presents. That's where this story about the secret Santa program that was started ten years ago comes in. This organization was started to give kids in low income families a Christmas just like every other kid in their town.

Our small group does many things for our community. One thing we do is every Christmas eve we deliver toys to the needy in the area. We do this almost every year. We have many people donate toys, gifts, & much more. We do not only give the toys to the children in our community, we give to anyone we see in need.

In my city we have an organization that is called Santa's helpers. We deliver Christmas presents on Christmas Eve. We sometimes have trouble during the night. But there are some families that don't celebrate Christmas or don't believe in it. For those that don't believe in it we ignore them. By the end of the night we have all the presents delivered.

at ecms, many children joined an organization to help deliver toys to the people that cant afford them. they had a toy drive. many students went and bough toys and then later donated to the toy drive. all you had to do was drop them off in a box. so many of the schools students were part of this kind act. the organization was very happy with the outcome. it shows how every bit of effort can count. they gathered all the toys eventually.
