Holiday Wish Lists 2001
Fri., Dec. 14, 2001
Most of these nonprofit organizations have stipulated very specific needs. Please note that brands and sizes often make a difference. Likewise with food donations, sometimes needed for specific events. Also, for space's sake, we have removed the somewhat universal pleas for cash, volunteers, and computer systems. Once you choose which group to help out, please do get in touch with them directly to find out their specific desires and how you can help fill them.
Happy holidays from your pals here at The Austin Chronicle.
