Donate a Gift to a Foster Child, Win a Kindle Fire HD

Sleep Train in Palo Alto will give away a Kindle Fire HD tablet and a pair of cozy Tempur-Pedic slippers to one lucky person who donates a gift to a foster child this holiday season.

 

Black Friday, the momentous time of the year which kicks off the holiday shopping season, is nearly upon us.

In addition to those loved ones for whom you are shopping, consider an additional gift for a local foster child.

Palo Alto Patch readers are encouraged to donate new, unwrapped gifts for all ages to Sleep Train's Toy Drive through December 16th. Donations can be delivered to the Palo Alto Sleep Train store located at 2098 El Camino Real.

Why donate? Many children enter foster care just before the holidays with only the clothes on their backs and aren't guaranteed to wake up with a gift under the tree.

Whether it's a new baby doll, a Lego set, art supplies, or even a gift card, these presents can mean the world to a foster child.

Sleep Train is hosting its 'Be a Secret Santa Photo Contest' on Facebook. Participants can snap a picture of themselves donating a gift to Sleep Train and upload it to the contest page for the chance to win the new Kindle Fire HD and a pair of cozy Tempur-Pedic slippers.
