Our Wish List

(updated 6/08)

We welcome your donations of items to support our three classroom locations. Please contact Debbie Denton ddenton@familyconnections.org or (650) 592-4862 before donating any items, including those items not on the wish list. One of our sites or one of our families may have an immediate need.

Our greatest needs are plain white binders for parent ed, earthquake “survival backpacks for each classroom, and Sam Trans bus passes.

Many of these items are available at Amazon.com. For your convenience, we have set up a Wish List at Amazon.com. Items you purchase on that site will be sent directly to us.

Also, many items from this wish list can be purchased at Tout About Toys at 1530 Gilbreth Road in Burlingame. The store has a list on file.
