San Jose resident Caroline Giddens took the focus off herself and put it on the needs of others during her 10th birthday party this fall.
Instead of bringing gifts, Giddens asked her friends to bring new socks or underwear. The items were donated to the Foster Closet (www.fostercloset.org). The group provides clothing for local foster children.
“I’m very proud of Caroline’s idea to give to others as part of her birthday celebration,” said mom, Karen. Inspired to follow Giddens’ selfless act? Be a copycat! Visit the Foster Closet site or check in with other groups that need clothing donations this time of the year.
