Hi All Please consider becoming an ELF for kids who are in transitional housing or wards of the state. This is specific to MA, NH and VT. See example of the sponsor email you will receive with your kids wishlist down below. My daughter and I, as a holiday tradition have sponsored kids from a variety of organizations. This is the first year with ELF, I am enthused that we can also go shopping with ELF money right near Christmas [for the kids who don't get a sponsor] and also deliver the gifts to the organizations who are giving the gifts to the kids. There is an option to order online and send directly to the Needham dropoff. https://www.operationelf.org/ If I can be of assistance, please email me at HLA@comcast.net mailto:HLA@comcast.net Thanks! Hayley
