[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People receive so much in this area that we always donate to other areas.  We generally call the social service agency in an area with a high poverty level.   They refer us to local organizations and schools.   We get an idea of what children need and ages.  This year we sent winter coats for 12 children and 12 dozen socks in various sizes.    I know it is not exciting but the groups say the items are appreciated.  We order items on line and have them shipped directly  to the organization.

We only wish we could do more. [/quote]

If you’re worried about resellers, sending new coats to soome other area isn’t the way to go. [/quote]

We never gave a thought to resellers.  We just saw so many people receive so much in this area that we began to look at other areas where fewer people donated.  The school principal gave us actual coat sizes for kids so we think they will go to specific kids. If they are re-sold, there is nothing we can do.  The principal asked for socks in small, medium, and large sizes because kids often wear no socks or need socks.  We got generic white socks so I suppose they could be re-sold too.

Although. Christmas is not a time for cynicism, I suppose you have a right to be cynical. [/quote]
