cook county in IL or MN?\n\nlet's assume that it is IL.  \nhere is the link to DHS of IL \nhttp://www.dhs.state.il.us/ts/fss/il444-0565n.asp\n\nyou may apply for social assistance. there are established guidelines to determine if you are eligible.

You don't say where you live or teach, but I would suggest calling a locally-owned store that sells those things and see if they would be willing to donate some or all of the items. You can try asking church groups and civic groups (Rotary, Knights of Columbus, etc.), who might be willing to help. See if the local paper would do a story on the project and what is needed (call the editor). There are a lot of generous people out there. They just need to know what you need and that you need it.\n\nGood luck!

Hi,there is an organization called Christian Foundation for Children and Aging where you can sponsor a child or elderly person in other parts of the world. You may contact them at 800-875-6564 or www.cfcausa.org  I am sponsoring a child through this organization, I think is a Great thing.

There are a couple of ways. \nwww.helpyourcommunity.org\nwww.idealist.org\n\nIf nothing else google the word volunteer and you should be able to find what you are looking for. Also, check into Boys and Girls club in your area and you could find that they have needs or know of some needs that would fill what you are looking for.

Many churches help out, and also try the Salvation Army they have a angel tree program you can sign the kids up for gifts and for food for your family, also ask about programs at your child's school some have Christmas gift giving programs, also as at the WIC office they also have a Christmas gift and food program, and at most hospitals each unit buys for a family, food and gifts. There is a lot of help but it goes rather quickly so apply now. God Bless You and your family and have A Very Merry Christmas. You are all in our prayers.

talk to a church or your kids school and see if they have anyone that needs help.  My kids school does Operation Help a Neighbor.

If your serious, maybe think about donating some to a worthy cause.  A young family struggling to make it and going to work everyday.  An elderly person living on social security and can't afford their electric bill.  Donate to a children's hospital, animal protective society, or senior center in your area.  Lots of things you can do with it.  I hope you find what your looking for.
