Adopt-A-Class

2008
Community Action offers opportunities for groups to "adopt" Head Start pre-kindergarten
classrooms for the holidays. Groups provide each child in a classroom of 20 children with at
least one gift selected from our Wish List (see below). We match your group with a specific
class that is as close as possible to your location. Your teacher contact will provide gender
and size information, as well as first names if needed. Participating groups must adopt at
least one entire classroom of 20 students.

Gift donations must be wrapped and delivered by the donor group to the Head Start
classroom no later than Wednesday, December 17th, 2008.

Donations to Community Action are tax deductible as defined by law. Our federal tax
identification number is: 93-0554941. Receipt forms for Adopt-A-Class gifts are provided
upon request.

The Adopt-A-Class Wish List includes new books selected by Head Start teachers (many
available in Spanish/English, but English is fine), as well as new winter weather gear (hats,
boots, coats/jackets), underwear and socks, educational games such as letter or number
bingo, 10-20 piece puzzles, Legos, or other toys that help to enhance fine motor skills.

Second-hand (used) gifts are not acceptable. All gifts must be new.

We cannot allow gifts that recognize particular religious faiths.
