 You can sign up and buy age appropriate gifts according to age and gender. Our goal is to provide 2-3 gifts per child and/or family. For the non-shoppers, gift cards are always appreciated ($20 is a good amount)-usually used to buy winter clothing. 

Carl Turk will be coordinating the efforts on Roadrunners behalf. We will send specific information on where to drop the gifts off in Downers Grove to those who sign up.

There will be need to help sort and bag gifts on or around mid-December. We will also need a couple of volunteers to assist in delivering items to area elementary schools before break.
