Bring an unwrapped gift or gift card valued at least $10 for a teenager by Wednesday, December 12.  Gifts will be delivered to the Department of Social Services to be given to the teenagers in foster care at their Christmas Party.    Each year this celebration is held, yet gifts for teens are always scarce as people tend to give gifts for smaller kids.  Thank you in advance for your support.
