 All children deserve a gift at Christmas. You can help. "Clark's Christmas Kids" program is kicking up for 2009! This year marks the 19th year that Clark Howard and News/Talk 750 WSB join together with the Georgia Department of Family and Children's Services to provide gifts for children in foster care across Georgia. Because of the generosity of Clark's listeners, the Christmas Kids Campaign collects about half of all the gifts DFACs gives to children in foster care. So, thank you for your support!
Help a child in your area, no matter where you live.

Are you unable to come out to an Atlanta-area Wal-Mart to meet Clark and purchase a gift for a needy child? You can help a foster child right in your own neighborhood! Giving to the Salvation Army Angel Tree program will provide new clothing and toys for children and families in need throughout the Christmas season and beyond.
Meet our profiled family:  New faces seek Salvation Army support this holiday season
Having lost her job earlier this year, Jessica Jones was struggling to provide meals for her two young boys. As a longtime donor of The Salvation Army, she was aware of its many services and willingness to help families such as hers, but uneasy about asking for help.
Jessica reluctantly contacted The Salvation Army in Columbus, GA and met with an Assistance Counselor who was able to provide her with groceries for her family, monetary eviction prevention and utility assistance grants to stabilize her household.
No longer having to worry about necessities, Jessica worked quickly to find another job. With your support, Jessica’s children will be among the thousands of children receiving new toys, clothing, and meals this holiday season.
Each year, The Salvation Army's Angel Tree program allows individuals and corporations throughout Metro Atlanta to show their support of families like the Carters by providing a less fortunate child with new toys or clothes for the Christmas holiday.
This year, Salvation Army "angels" can be adopted at Lenox Mall, The Town Center at Cobb, North Lake Mall, Discover Mills Mall and The Mall of Georgia, Monday-Saturday, 10am-7pm, November 28th through December 12th.
Monetary donations may also be made at www.salvationarmyatlanta.org, or by calling 1-800-SAL-ARMY.
