===Objectives===
Philanthropy.
===Group Size===
===Set Up===
Decide as a group to commit to this type of giving.
Select a charitable agency that offers this opportunity. Oakland Family Services is one example[http://www.oaklandfamilyservices.org/donate/adoptafamily.html one example]; find others in your area through a Google search.    
===Directions===
The agency provides general information about the family members' gender, age, size, and needs and wishes. Each team member provides appropriate gifts or donates funds for a representative to do the shopping. In one version, tags in a display give the information about each family member. Team members select tags and replace them with appropriate gifts. (Often, the tags are decorating a Christmas tree, and the gifts are then arranged under it. Alternative symbols and decorations can be more universal and inclusive, for instance a flower garden display, with each flower giving information about an adult or child in the family.) The team gets together to wrap the gifts.
