Some things to think about

As I move forward with organizing my first Donation Drive ~ Support our Troops ~  I have many unanswered questions still.

Please feel free to offer any suggestions.

1.  A place to hold the event
2.  Sponsors to attend the event
3.  Advertising the event
4.  Ideas on items to suggest to fill the care packages
5.  Donations to help with shipping expenses

Lastly, and most importantly, I need addresses for our ServiceMen and Women to whom we can send care packages to.  If you have a family member or friend that is overseas, please email me their information so I can add to my list of Troops to send items to. 

Thanks!

Donations Donations Donations

Well, good afternoon!!! 

I was talking to my Mother-in-law today and she had a friend who was getting rid of some baby items, and she decided to take them for Dedicated Donations!!  Yay! 

So, this post is informative only, if you have any items at any time, that you would like to donate, please feel free to contact me and I will arrange for pick up. 

I will plan as many donation drives as I can, as I've said, for ALL walks of life!  If we get too many items at a time, before a donation drive, I will donate on a separate basis and keep this blog informed on where the items go. 

However, please feel free to donate, even if we are not having a drive, I will make sure your items get to people who need them.

I've applied for a Non-Profit Registered name and am continously working on gathering the basics for our first drive, to make sure it is successful and we can help out and surprise our ServiceMen and Women.

Please feel free to email or comment suggestions on ways to advertise our first drive! 

Thanks!  We can and we will make a difference in our community!
