Toys for Tots in Palm Beach County announced last night that donations were about half the usual number and that requests had doubled. If you were able to go a bit overboard buying for your child or children this year, why not take one of those presents and drop it off at a Toys for Tots drop off location.
If you can donate money, they have a secure link!
I would guess it is similar across the nation.
If you can, please do. (If a normal Saturday pickup down here is around 300 toys, and this year up to 88 is a GOOD pickup — and they have twice the requests….)
Toys for Tots, the national link that will lead you to your local as well.
For me it is scary that we have that few donations with perfect weather, I wonder what it must be like where no one can get out and drive safely for all the winter storms?
Hey Sweet friend! Hope your Christmas has been lovely & that Boxing Day is a good one. I was with my son all day, and haven’t seen him in a year & a half, so I’m slow getting around! My best wishes to you (and I loved seeing your poem again!).
