This year we decided to help a low-income Pasadena family: A mom and dad with six children and one on the way. Staff in the City Clerk's Office joined in the plan.
We got a list of each family member's wants, needs and desires, and then we went shopping (with our own personal money).
We wrapped enough presents to make this a merry Christmas for a family that otherwise would have very little on December 25.
It was a great feeling!

I can't think of a better way to stimulate the economy.
Good 2 c our govt at work directly helping the people.
Each department in the City should do this. What a wonderful thing you did. I bet it made your Christmas.
How fantastic, and appropriate.
Hopefully Dr. Takashi and his Health Dept. offered the man some free contraceptives?
