We at Woodside firmly believe that we should all aid those less fortunate in our community. We try to support many non-profit, neighborhood and national help groups by either volunteering our time and or donating funds when possible. Below are a list of some of the organizations we support. We encourage you to become involved too.

REECE'S RAINBOW With a nearly 90% prenatal termination rate of our angels with Down syndrome here in the United States, it is our HONOR and OBLIGATION to rescue those who were blessed enough to be born. In only 5 years, Reece's Rainbow has become a true *Voice of Hope* for orphaned children with Down syndrome. We have found adoptive families for more than 225 children with Down syndrome and other special needs around the world, and have disbursed more than $350,000 in adoption grants for those families! Donations from our annual Angel Tree make up the BULK of those available funds. With an average cost of over $20,000 to adopt, your generous sponsorship in 2009 can truly change the course of a child's life!

Reece's Rainbow is a true non-profit, and relies completely on private donations to this fund to remain operational, so your gifts for that are greatly appreciated throughout the year.
Donations may also be made via check and mailed to: Reece's Rainbow PO Box 4024 Gaithersburg, MD 20885
