My heart melted today when I noticed that a 10-year-old boy was asking for pants for Christmas on the Adopt-A-Family tree at Southridge Mall Starbucks. 

So I grabbed the tag and headed straight to JCPenney for some pants.

In collaboration with the Salvation Army's program Starbucks has Christmas trees with name tags of a suggested gifted for children who don't have much.

Customers take a tag off the tree and bring the unwrapped gift back to the store by December 15 with the tag attached to the gift. 

Gifts are suggested not to exceed $25.
