Giving From the

Heart 2008
Adopting a family for the holidays through the Probation Community Action Association’s (PCAA)
“Giving From The Heart” program has been a successful project within our community for several
years. Last Christmas, 75 families in Orange County were adopted and more than 1,000 individuals
received holiday toys or gifts through the generous support of community members such as you.

Ways you can help this Christmas season

There are several ways that corporations, individuals, families, groups, faith organizations and
service clubs can get involved:
Gift cards to grocery stores, WalMart, Target etc., allows our parents to select gifts and needed
items for the family. Host a gift card party to benefit our families this holdiay season ($20
minimum please).
Adopt one or more families for the holidays. We will provide you with a family’s wish list and
PCAA will arrange to pick up your donations and deliver them directly to families, or donors
may drop off gifts at a Probation Youth Center.
Donate new, age-appropriate toys or cosmetics/personal hygiene items for teens.
To adopt a family, a donation of $275 is appreciated, however, a donation of any size will be
combined to adopt families. Any donation will give a family a wonderful Christmas.

It’s Easy To Make Your Contribution

Complete the donor form on reverse side and mail or fax your response to our PCAA office.

PCAA’s mission is to provide assistance, advocacy and support for “at risk” youth in Orange County
Probation and to low income/high crime areas of the community by implementing intervention and
gang prevention programs to help lessen domestic gang terrorism. Our challenge is to turn “youth
at risk” to “youth of promise”. PCAA collaborates with the Orange County Probation Department
to change young lives, turning them in a positive, life changing direction.
