Charity donations

What we use to do when I was still a fireman was we would pick out a needy family that we had responded to a call on during the year. We would get with the family, find out details like kids ages, clothes sizes, and ask just what the family needs. Than we would shop for then, wrap up presents and play Santa on Christmas or day before. We would also throw the family a big dinner. Well since I retired in 2011. I started what I call “The Old Farts Breakfast” and we meet 4 times a year. Well on the breakfast gathering in December I throw in 300-500 and ask for the group to find me a worthy family and ask others if they want to donate and we still do the same Christmas donation.
