A while back there was a drive to donate school supplies for Iraqi children - but the expense came in the shipping. I know when my nephew was serving, it was not cheap to send a box of "goodies" from home. I'll do a little digging to see if there are any groups closer to home accepting items for donation.Unincorporated Middlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530375448166493451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162656579870910602.post-30235291212022333582007-11-01T09:32:00.000-05:002007-11-01T09:32:00.000-05:00Is it too expensive, or would it make sense to mak...Is it too expensive, or would it make sense to make a collection of clothing and toys on the North Shore? Everybody has nice, practically new things they could give and we could have convenient collection points. Generally speaking, NGO's seek money, but there must be a lot of transport to Iraq with free space. One year, the local schools had a coat drive for Pine Ridge Reservation and someone was driving the items up there. We sent along a lot of nice, barely used coats and I am sure that others' closets had even better finds. We have so many <EM>things</EM> around here, we could send them along to others which not only recycles them but is also helpful.Publiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889559967136070417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162656579870910602.post-43598180779452354792007-10-30T22:39:00.000-05:002007-10-30T22:39:00.000-05:00No left turn,Thanks.

There is an option to e-mail friends and family from the TD foundation website to help spread the idea.Unincorporated Middlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530375448166493451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162656579870910602.post-42159421754730095292007-10-30T18:55:00.000-05:002007-10-30T18:55:00.000-05:00Thanks, UM, and yes, we all CAN help.
