September give

Hey, everyone! September is already here and fall is heading our way! Time to think about cleaning out last years winter clothing. Our give for this month is kind of tricky. I originally wanted to do a Coats for Kids drive through the local schools. However, they only accept new coats, gloves, etc. I really didn't want to have to "buy" items every month for the give so I will leave the choice to each family. You can donate new hats, gloves, coats, snow boots, etc to your local school OR just go through the same items you already have at home and donate what you can to the DI or the local Youth Ranch. Either way, they are getting out there so kids can get them and that is the important thing. I know my budget has stretched as far as it can go with getting the kids in school, school pictures, etc. I do have many of these things that my kids have outgrown, but they still look nice and someone could still use them. So, like I say, the choice is yours. Also, last call for any toys for the Christmas Council. Ashley had a few loose ends she wanted to finish on her necklaces before we took them over and a few others asked if they could get something to us still. This will be the last week to get anything you want donated to Lois's house. Thanks for all your giving this year; I hope everyone else is enjoying it as much as I am. It really blesses me when I can focus on the needs of others instead of the wants of myself.
