Thank you for your interest in helping to provide a wonderful
Christmas for the kids at Children’s Home Society (CHS)!
The CHS “Christmas Wish List” is attached.
These are the collective wishes from our living units, our
school, family therapists, nurses, and all those who have
a part in caring for our kids. These wishes are things that
stay at CHS and are shared by all the children.
We ask that gifts come unwrapped for easier
identification, sorting, and organization.
Gifts can be delivered between 8 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
December 14, 15, or 16 (Wednesday/Thursday/Friday).
Please let us know when you plan to come so we can
meet you, help unload, and personally thank you!
Also, if you would like a tour of CHS, advance notice
is appreciated so we can arrange for a tour guide.
For questions, gift deliveries, and tour
arrangements, please call Deb Moritz: 605.965.3174
