Oh, this is awesome! We have never done a family completely on our own, but have worked with groups or other families to do this. Bighelp- if it is something you are interested in you could contact your local Salvation Army, the Department of Family and Children, or the local chapter of Toys for tots. Churches in your area may also have a list of families as well. There are a LOT of families that could use some help this year. I just dropped off a ton of gently worn winter clothes from my kids to go for some of these families as well.
