I don't usually post alot here about charities and green information simply because we are inundated with that type of info all day on the net, news and in general. However, out of the goodness of my heart here are a few cool things to send your junk when your family (like ours) piles up in the garage with nowhere to send it.
sportsgift.org- nonprofit that gives sports gear to 40,000 underprivileged kids worldwide every year. This also accept larger donations from schools and professional organizations for uniforms and coaching equipment. This would be a great thing for your child's sports team to do together after a softball or soccer season. Send soccer balls, basketballs, volleyballs, baseballs, running shoes, shin guards, cleats, etc. call 949-388-2359.
rebounces.com- restores the ball's bonce then sells them at a deep discount for use at practice. this cuts down on landfills full of tennis balls. Also, balls beyond repair are cut up and used as scratch and noice preventers on the bottoms of school and hospital chairs and desks- practical!
joniandfriends.org & cbmus.org- send orthotics like crutches, wheelchairs, canes, knee braces for disabled adults and children in over 100 countries for disabilities and war injuries.
(Thanks to Oprah Magazine for this information)
It always give us such satisfaction when we give (anonymously) to our chosen charities each year...but I am always burdened with that nagging acknowledgement that it never feels like enough. I guess every bit does help, though.
tata for now kiddos...
