We recently had some questions regarding the distribution of your donated items. If you prefer to donate to a specific family (and I do this myself when there is something that tugs at my heartstrings) please be assured that it goes where you intended it. Otherwise - please be assured that everything gets used - and what we cannot use is donated to a charity that sells those items and uses the proceeds to help others. There is a large network of groups that work in that way - we share things among ourselves - clothing swaps, etc. This way we "keep the circle of giving spinning" to quote Peaches.
The need is never ending and just when we think we have everyone covered, we encounter another family or person in need. It is so sad that so many are disenfranchised due to circumstances beyond their control. It makes me think of the Great Depression and The Grapes of Wrath. So please, know that we are truly grateful for every donation we receive and that it all goes to good use. You can tell by these postings - and these are just our key families in the most dire circumstances. There are many others not posted in the blog just because of sheer volume.
Please accept our sincere thanks for all that you do to support us and our effort to help others.
