I got home today from a community event to discover two huge loads of donations that had been dropped off. I got about eight boxes of leftover linens, clothes, and dishes from a garage sale this weekend and also a dozen bags of assorted items from my brother's colleagues at Superior Ambulance.
So far, we have a good number of linens and various clothes, though more are certainly welcome. I have also seen a good deal of children's books and coloring books, which we are probably maxed out on. I also received about a dozen brand new children's outfits for both boys and girls; this donation has to be the best I've seen so far! I have also received a few teen-sized bicycles, which we should have just enough room for on the truck. If anyone is still uncertain of how to contribute, a run in the clearance or children's sections of a discount or department store would probably be best. I am also still looking for more monetary donations so that I can hit up these superstores with my group sponsor to see where funds might best be allocated.
I'm glad to see that so many people are excited about the project and I look forward to truly uncovering the contents of all of these cardboard boxes stacked up on our sorting day this Saturday, May 29th from 10:00 to 2:00 at my house in S. Barrington IL.
