Starbuck's Adopt-A-Family Gives Christmas Gifts to Children

A Christmas tree with tags featuring the name a child and a suggested gift for the boy or girl has rolled out at the Southridge Starbucks, in hopes that customers will help make Christmas merry for families.

My heart melted today when I noticed that a 10-year-old boy was asking for pants for Christmas on the Adopt-A-Family tree at Southridge Mall Starbucks. 

So I grabbed the tag and headed straight to JCPenney for some pants.

In collaboration with the Salvation Army's program Starbucks has Christmas trees with name tags of a suggested gifted for children who don't have much.
