AIDS DALLAS HOLIDAY SEASON   
 
Upcoming Holidays for the Residents of AIDS Services of Dallas
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 can make the difference.
 
You can make the holidays special for the 174 men, women and children living at AIDS Services of Dallas by providing a gift or helping to wrap and sort holiday gifts.
 
We hope that you will consider helping us make this holiday another joyous occasion. 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.
2009 Holiday Season Ways to Help
- Provide holiday gifts for ASD's residents.
- Wrap and sort gifts during the holiday season.
- Send a donation.
- Send a Walmart or Target gift card to help provide gifts for residents.
 
If you would like to help the men, women and children living at ASD have a wonderful holiday, please contact Mary Beth O'Connor at 214-941-4411 ext.510 or mboconnor@aidsdallas.org
