[quote=Anonymous]The Treehouse Children's Advocacy Center in Montgomery County supports children who are victims of abuse (and usually now in foster care).  As the winter holidays get closer, they often have sibling sets or individual children you can "adopt" with specific needs lists.  I've personally delivered donations there and can vouch for they're legitimacy.  They keep a stash of new pajamas on hand so that each child that comes through the intake process can choose a new pair.  Pretty poignant when you think about why a child might find brand new pajamas particularly comforting.  On Black Friday, we usually search out the PJ doorbusters at Target/Walmart and buy as many as we can afford to donate.

They also have an Amazon wish list--just looking through that will give you a good idea of what they provide.  Their Facebook page is pretty active with information about current needs, too.

Also, the Homeless Children's Playtime Project in DC supports, you guessed it, homeless children in DC with a safe place to play, and provides therapy and services.  Relisha Rudd was a client when she disappeared.  I don't know for sure if they do a specific "adopt a kid" holiday giving program, but they do have a wish list on amazon as well.
