Yes, I am still around and I hope
you are too!!!
It is that time of year--so much
going on.
As most of you know, yesterday
was "Giving Tuesday." The day
that we are asked to "give" to
our favorite charity.
Today I would like to suggest
other recipients for our giving
this holiday season.
Animal shelters--old towels and
blankets
Women's shelters--toiletries,
women's and children's clothing.
Plus size clothing for women is
usually in high need, books and
art supplies for the kids. Please
check with your local shelter
for their "needs" list.
Homeless shelters-Again
check with those in our
area for their particular
needs.
Usually clothes, socks
shoes and toiletries are
a high need.
Local libraries usually have
book donation drop offs
Check with your local
child care centers and
elementary schools to
see what they are in
need of.
Small centers usually
are in need of art
supplies and classroom
supplies etc.
Last but not least---
Those RED KETTLES
that are seen all over at
this time of year.
Mr.Ken and I get the biggest
kick out of dropping our dollars
into the kettles we see.
If you are feeling really generous
buy the bell ringer a cup of coffee
or hot chocolate, they'll appreciate
it-especially if it cold.
Take the time to give when and
where you can. Someone you
don't know will thank you!!!!
~Keep on Dreaming~
Your suggestions are great.

Actually, I didn't know about "giving Tuesday." I do however have a couple of bags ready for donation, and got to pick three names off of the local Angel tree. Fun stuff! :)
ReplyDeleteDonations of any kind are good.
DeleteWe have gotten angels also, now we do
for families at my school.
So good to see you!

All good causes, Melinda! We volunteer at our local food pantry and donate to some other charities.
