For 18 years, Butterfield has led the nonprofit Adopt An Angel, providing holiday gifts for more than 8,000 of the country's most needy children. She helped provide gifts for 800 children in 2011 alone. The children, who are living in group homes, shelters, foster care or low-income homes, make wish lists of three gifts. Butterfield finds people to buy what's on the list and procures donated warehouse space, and recruits volunteers to shop, wrap, tag and deliver the gifts during the holiday season.
