[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can be very expensive - thousands of dollars.  I found this out when my friend did it last year and only discovered after getting the lists and requirements from the agency. one of the requirements of the agency was that clothing items on wish lists were expected to be "quality items" and then there were a list of brands and stores and no, Walmart and Target were not on the list. Another one was electronics on wish lists had to come with certain additional accessories even if those accessories did not appear on the wish list.

If budget is a concern to you, make sure to ask questions beforehand on the expectations.

That sounds like a story Trump voters tell each other. Name the "agency". [/quote]

Yeah, I’ve never heard this, either. I’ve volunteered for some of these events in the past and helped get everything organized by sizes /ages , putting in bags, etc.  Beyond some nicer toys for toddlers/preschoolers , I’ve never really seen “quality items” at any of these events. I’m glad the families are getting some  items they need but sometimes there’s just a thin cropped style sweatshirt(really only fashionable and not keeping a kid warm) when it has asked for a winter coat. Sometimes I feel bad putting together these bags even though , I’ve purchased as much as I can myself. I’ve never put together anything that didn’t come from Walmart or Dollar Tree, rarely some Target items. [/quote]
