Day 35: Donating to a Good Cause

Last week I was thinking about where else in town I could take donations, besides Goodwill.  I don't have any reason not to like Goodwill, and I really need to research what they do more closely, but I wanted some other options too.

I knew that there is an organization in our town that helps women and children get out of abusive home environments and rebuild their lives.  When I went to their website, I found that they have a wish list of items that they are in need of.  Most of them were specific household items, women's and children's clothing, and baby items.  I was encouraged, since I am in the process of purging baby things (even though we have a 3 month old, there are several items that I know we won't be using, and it's time to find them a new home...ie. boy's blankets or clothing).

Today I finished my first bag of items to take to the drop-off center.  I hope I can get there sometime next week.  Sometimes the timing of purging and when I can actually deliver them don't line up, and I have random boxes scattered through our house to take to different places.

Here's Today's Toss:
7 baby blankets
2 packages of pull-ups
7 newborn clothing items
1 foam baby bath insert
= 17 items to donate to the Marjaree Mason Center
