TO KIDS FROM KIDS
A Girl Scout Holiday Service Project

San Mateo County

Wish Lists

We work closely with the social workers in San Mateo County. They ask the children to fill out "wish lists" so that each child might receive a gift she or he would truely want. To Kids From Kids participants have the choice of requesting a wish list or simply following the suggestions on our Participation page. Service Units, troops, groups, and individuals are encouraged to request "wishes" to really brighten these children's holidays. You are only expected to purchase one or two items from the list. Participants can sponsor one child, several children, a family or multiple families.

If you would like to request "wishes" please contact Jennifer O'Donnell as soon as possible.

Presentations

If you would like someone to speak at your Service Unit Troop Represntative Meeting (aka as Leader Meeting) about To Kids From Kids, please contact Sydney Greenberg
