Someone recently asked Peaches what we collect besides baby stuff. Here's her answer:
We collect just about anything that is usable. If you would use it chances are if its in good shape and is no longer needed, someone else could use it also. We are always in search of donations of:
1) Clothing for all ages (Men, Woman, Children and Babies) in every size and season that exists.
2) Household items for those that have little or none and would never be able to buy them on their own.
3) Money to continue to be able to help others, including buying gas so we can deliver these donated items.
4) Blankets to keep those with little heat, money or even no home, warm.
5) New and Used Toys to brighten the face of a child that often has little to smile about.
6) Personal hygiene items for those that can not afford to go buy their own.
7) Shoes that are in GOOD shape for those that need new ones.
8) Suitcases with wheels for those that live in in temporary homes so we can help them fill them before they move to the next place~~Also for people with no place to live so they are able to transport the few items they do manage to get.
9) All baby items so that babies that would have nothing without help can have what they need. All furniture type baby items are checked for recalls prior to being distributed. If an item as been recalled it is discarded.
10) Furniture in good shape for people that have little or sometimes none at all.
11) Food so the hungry are fed.
12) Coats, Gloves, Hats and Scarfs to help keep those that go out in, and also those that live outside in the cold, warm.
13) Movies, Games and Puzzles with all of the pieces for safe houses and temporary houses, along with those we are lucky enough to be able to supply with a way to view them.
14) Pet food so that the people that can not afford to feed the pets they love do not have to even think about surrendering them to a shelter knowing the likely outcome.
Truth is, we collect everything one could need or would like to have ranging from clocks to socks and organize it all into "who needs what" boxes. We then deliver it to those in need for free. Of course we only succeed with the help of others so please help us make the world a little brighter for others. If you can help, we are happy to arrange a pickup. Thank you for your generosity.
