Donating Coffee and Personal Care Items
Here's about a dozen pots of coffee. When we travel we stay in timeshares and they always leave a couple of packs of coffee. Each is enough for a full 12 cup pot. I always take my own coffee and so safe these for Rae, our friend who prepares meals for the homeless on Sat. mornings.
Here....lots of personal care items saved also from the time shares. Lots of soap, shampoo, hair conditioner, and lotion. Folks this is a great way to donate without actually buying anything. If you travel for business or pleasure save what the hotels give you. Our donations of personal care items are delivered to Rae, and to The Homeless Families Foundation. They're used by those living out in the elements, and those in the shelters.
The coffee isn't something for the shelters, as I believe there are food regulations, though I've not rechecked that in awhile. I'm not asking for coffee donation, as I don't believe volumes of it are needed. Should that change, I'll post it. But, the personal care items are always needed.
**The counts on our progress bars are current. Percentages are current, as of Feb 15th.
All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.
Where are You and Your Yarn From?
I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.
Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.
Nice donation of the personal care items. They will be nice for the homeless.
