Morris and Wood shop for families, wrap presents, and deliver them on behalf of the Windermere Foundation. They spend an average of $100 a person. Adopt-a-Family is one of the few Holiday-season gift-giving programs that lets benefactors hand out the gifts in person.

The following letter came with the above poster by Conrado Padillo, an 8th grader at Asa Mercer Middle School.
- Dear Friends at Real Change,
- Our 8th grade health class read a short story called “A Homeless Woman Living in Her Car.” We also read a poem, “There Is the Dream of Someone Else…” by Anitra Freeman. From these pieces, our students were challenged to design a poster that communicated how we can take an active role in supporting the needs of the homeless. I felt this poster by Conrado Padillo was extraordinary. Conrado sought to keep the message clear, supported by graphics that catch the eye and inform the reader of how to help in real and possible ways. I am proud of Conrado for his perceptive artwork and his understanding that we can make a difference. Is there any chance that this poster could be printed in your newspaper?
