Our community is collecting Toys for Tots so I am heading out to pick up some toys today along with some food for our local food bank.
Thanks for the tag link! They are really cute!

Just donated to a friend whose friend was robbed and they are trying to replace stolen items. I's a single mother and daughter. It' makes me happy to see so many generous people out there that come to the rescue.

cute gift tags. I am donating to our local churches. They are requesting hats, mittens and scarves. Another group is collecting toiletries for the people in our Mission in Nicaragua (I think). the third group is making baskets for families; they need toys, marker, jouranals etc.

Due to Covid, the Toys for Tots motorcycle parade was cancelled. They lose out on earning donations from selling t-shirts and other gear at the parade. So this year, they have a traveling truck. My neighbor owns a local restaurant, and they set up camp outside her restaurant (which is only open for takeout). You can drop off your toys, gifts and donations with the truck also buy some 2020 Toys For Tots gear. My kids and I volunteered to help gather up the toy donations.

On another note, one of our employees lost everything in a house fire. So my kids went through their closets and packed bags of clothes and things to donate.
