MORE INFO HERE
Maybe have a collection early July then ship them up, or find someone close by that is driving...

The Children's Home Society houses 52 children 4 to 13 years old. The Emergency Foster Home a part of CHS houses 6 children newborn to 17 years old. That is a total of 58 children that could use a little love. One of the days during the week we will be visiting the Children's Home Society for an Ice Cream Social meeting the children and staff while displaying our Avalanches. I was thinking since there are only 58 children, we could have "Christmas in July" for them
Come on NC lets help the kids out..? Lets be sure the AVALANCHEs that are able to go leave them speechless..

PS I am willing to collect the items and pay for the shipping..!!!!

Forgot to say..  Try to wrap them and place a ruff age of the tag..  It will help out when they get delivered..
 
This sounds kinda like the "Angel Tree" thing we do every year at Christmas. Count us in.

I agree though, I think we should discuss local charity efforts at the next GTG maybe.
 
the local thing is fine..  But this is somewhat special event as the time of the year...  Would love to do another later this year for sure..
 
Put me on. I'll be bringing the gift ready to go, wraped and tagged at the May GTG.

Thanks Hugz for sending the package for us.

Agree on this. Since this one is already started lets bring gift to send for the Christmas in July but the next NC GTG, we should definitely do a charity something. Would be great!
 
Was thinking about gift cards..  Very easy..  that way

I found out today the gifts will be able to be purchased at any Target store and picked up in Rapid City or you can bring them with you.

We are working on a custom wish list. The list will include specific items as well as items to support The Children's Home Society facility. Each of the children are going to the Rapid City Target to help the staff scan items and create a custom list. All of the details should be available next week.

I remember seeing a link to the bikes somewhere. Could you post it here for us. We'll do that instead of the Target thing. What kid wouldn't love a new bike!
 
Wanted to thank Moddess and xnightwolf clans for sending up some gifts to the kids..
Also want to thank Skyview for helping out on the bikes that I  ordered for our state and RegionII
