What Needy People Need.....

I work at a car dealershop. Each year we collect money for the boss' Christmas Gift. In recent years, we have been donating this money, in his name, to local organizations which help the needy. This year we came across a local organizition which teamed up with a very large, nationally known, discount store. They wanted us to buy items for the needy. Items like x-box stuff, i-pods and other big ticket toys. Is this what needy people need?

We opted for the food & clothing route.
