Most kids in Austin, Texas are excited about what they are going to receive for Christmas, but for some kids they spend their Christmas worrying about keeping warm. Legacy Oaks is participating in a drive called Coats for Kids that gives children in the Austin Area coats for winter. The results of the drive were successful. Now, many more kids will be nice 'n toasty this winter.
Legacy is also giving back to SafePlace. SafePlace is an organization that "exists to end sexual and domestic violence through safety, healing, prevention, and social change." Legacy has a Christmas tree in the lobby. But instead of ornaments, the tree is decorated with scarves, mittens, hats, and gloves. The tree is a reminder to all who visit Legacy that we can make a difference in our city, no matter how big or small. SafePlace also has a wish list for their Christmas that includes...
- Diapers - sizes 4, 5
- Pull ups - all sizes
- Children's underwear - all sizes
- Woman's underwear - all sizes
- Baby Wipes
- Body Products - shampoo, conditioner, body wash
- Body Care - oil, lotion, powder
- Female hygiene products
- Bath towels
- Full sized deodorant
If you do happen to purchase any items for SafePlace you can drop them off at Legacy, and we will take the items to SafePlace. Thank you for your contributions. Merry Christmas!
