[QUOTE="mrscatinthehat, post: 106019, member: 2063"] Funny, I was just thinking of this.. A few years ago when I was working for a company that had a lot of employees. We were collecting for toys for tots. A friend and I had stopped by the box as we were planning to do a shop and wanted to see what was already being given. Nothing was in it. We went to Wal-mart filled the cart and split the cost. When we came back and put the stuff in the box a lot of people saw and asked who all put in. We said we had. All of a sudden over the next few days people were stuffing th boxes full. No one for some reason wanted to start. Last year I bought books for those in need(I love to read and would have been crushed as a kid to not have my own books). I think I went back to the book store that was doing the drive six times in Dec last year. This year so far all's I have done is gloves for kids that need them. The reason for that being with the weather we have been busy with the Red Cross. We have set up shelters twice now this month. Red Cross is my constant that I do things for. It is not just at Holiday time. I love to help people and this is a wonderful way for me to do so. A lot of the skills to work with our difficult children comes in handy with folks that are going through some disaster or other. I also have adopted a soldier. I send cards and occaisional items. I submitted my name and was approved to do so through a great group of folks. That is also a year round endeaver. Beth [/QUOTE]
