I have kids ages 6, 11, 13, and 14. I really need help getting Christmas! Where can I go in or near Rome, Georgia?

Most of the organizations that provide Christmas help have a age cut off limit of 12-13 years. The younger ones might be able to get help from the local Salvation Army or Toys for Tots. I don't know how the Toys for Tots program works in order to be considered. The last I heard at the Salvation Army you had to fill out an application.
WalMart always has decent t-shirts for no more than $10.00 each for the older kids and no kid needs more than one gift, for they can also make do with a t-shirt or for real young kids a coloring book and eight count size of crayons.
There are all kinds of inexpensive items a person can buy ahead of time, one thing a month. I live off $700 a month total retirement income and buy gifts for my two adult kids, four adult grandkids, two year old great grandson, two sisters, an aunt and a cousin. I spend $20.00 each and I have been done with my shopping for about six months. If I find a $20.00 items on sale for less and I know it is something a person wants or can use, I get it and count it as a $20.00 item. Buying one item a month is the only way I can do it.
There are times I get started for the next Christmas before the Christmas I am done shopping for. If you are this hard up you must have a social worker, if so talk to that person and see if they know where you can receive help. Also if you attend Church talk to your pastor, sometimes they will take up an anonymous free will offering to help a member of the church.
