Los Angeles Holiday Basket Delivery
"Your Work Is Love Made Visible"
www.geocities.com/laholidaybaskets

The 11th Annual Los Angeles Holiday Basket Delivery is coming this November 23rd, and we need YOUR help! Feel the joy of giving! This is a very unique event where volunteers bring joy to the lives of others by personally and anonymously delivering holiday food baskets, supplies and toys to impoverished, inner-city families and/or those who are homeless. It is a gift of love given to struggling, low-income individuals, and to many it feels like they suddenly won the Lottery!

As one of our volunteers said..."A woman opened the door and she started to cry. We were on her doorstep, surprising her with a basket of fresh Thanksgiving food, a bottle of sparkling cider, toys for her children, and flowers for their holiday dinner table. She said she was crying because she'd just given away her last $10 as a donation at church. Then we showed up delivering gifts that felt to her like they were sent straight from heaven! It's something none of us will ever forget!"

Now it's YOUR chance to feel the joy of blessing the lives of others! Since 1991, over 8000 people have received a surprise basket that was assembled and delivered anonymously and personally with love. This year, even more people are in need. We are even more inspired and motivated and we are striving to reach 2000-4000 PEOPLE this year in a single day!

The Los Angeles Holiday Basket Delivery is a collaborative effort of community volunteers, and the surprise baskets are filled with donated food, supplies and toys. Each basket includes a written message:

"This basket comes to you from someone who cares about you. All we ask is that you take care of yourself well enough to be able to do this for someone else someday. Happy Holidays!"

This November 23rd, we plan to deliver surprise baskets of donated food and toys to 500 to 1000 FAMILIES! Please help this mission of Love! We especially need FOOD, 1000 to 1800 TOYS for the children, FLOWERS for each family, and up to 1000 plastic laundry BASKETS. We always welcome financial donations to purchase items that are not donated.

YOUR DONATIONS MAKE THIS TRULY GREAT AND LOVING EVENT POSSIBLE!

Your donation is tax-exempt and you are welcome to use the Federal Tax I.D. number from our collaboration with a non-profit, tax-exempt organization, the Anthony Robbins Foundation. With your support, community volunteers from all over Southern California will be able to deliver hundreds of surprise baskets of food, supplies and toys to individuals and low-income families. It can truly change someone's life to unexpectedly receive a bountiful gift basket that shows the genuine caring and generosity of anonymous donors! It's something they will never forget!

We NEED your help this year! This event simply won't happen without YOUR help! We are aiming to deliver to 2000-4000 PEOPLE! Please let us know how you can help this wonderful program. Please email us if you are certain you can come, or if you can help us to find donations http://www.geocities.com/laholidaybaskets or contact [email protected] Thank you for your efforts and for helping to spread Joy in the world!
