Help us make sure everyone we support receives a holiday gift this year!  About 40 of the 300 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities we serve do not have family or friends that are able to give them holiday gifts.  You or your group take responsibility for a list of 10, 20, or 30 requested gift items with a $25 max per item.  Typical gift requests include sports team branded clothing, craft kits, pajamas, blankets, etc.  After purchasing and wrapping gifts you'll drop them off at our main office at 1168 Northland Drive, Mendota Heights December 1st - 12th.  Then our volunteer elves will load their sleighs and deliver to people at their homes through out the Twin Cities metro area.   Email kathy.anderson@livingwell.org with your group name and how many items you want to give (10, 20, or 30) and you'll receive email back with the list of requested items.
