Thank you Joanne R for this cute donation for wee ones. As those of you who've visited the blog frequently know, this is an unusual donation for Bridge and Beyond, as this age group isn't our targeted audience; but Homeless Families will pass it along, so that someone can benefit from it. Aren't the little pink socks adorable!
Thank you Joanne.
Just 3 more days to mail donations, last day being the 24th of December with operations ceasing for Bridge and Beyond on the 31st.
PLEASE keep checking in, as I will continue to show donations coming in, and provide listings of charities you might like to support after operations cease here on Bridge and Beyond come Dec .31. Please remember the last date to mail donations is the 24th of Dec.
Some of the charities aid the homeless, some pregnant women, some kids transitioning out of foster care, and native Americans on Pine Ridge Reservation. Locations vary, so you might find one of the charities listed is in your area, or close to you like a border state; making postage perhaps less costly.
Below is the listing with a very brief description, but PLEASE click on the links to see details about what they accept, what fiber to use, who benefits from the charity and where to mail items.
