AIDS SERVICES OF DALLAS HOLIDAYS 
2008 Holiday Season
Ways to Help
The holiday season is right around the corner. For many of us, it is a time to celebrate the joy and blessings we enjoy with the people we love. For those less fortunate, the holidays can be sad and lonely, or a time of joy and blessing. You make the difference. You can make the holidays special for the 170 men, women and children living at AIDS Services of Dallas by purchasing a gift or helping to wrap and sort holiday gifts. Our residents love to share the holidays together and look forward all year to Santa's surprises. It may be a set of pots and pans or a warm jacket that will make their holiday special. If you would like to help the men, women and children living at ASD have a wonderful holiday please contact Alexis Sanchez at 214-941-4411 ext.501 asanchez@aidsdallas.org or Diana Cuellar at 214-942-2697 dcuellar@aidsdallas.org | |
