Congratulations to everyone who has participated in the Big Black Bag Toss Contest! I am so proud of you. We’ve already met our goal of tossing 100 bags in less than 30 days. Let’s keep going… let me know when you toss or donate any size bag and we’ll add you to the list. As the bags have been flying many of you have asked for suggestions about places to donate or give away your unused unloved items to someone who will use them. As this week’s challenge I’ve complied a national list that is packed with fantastic resources, I hope this helps: Books www.halfpricebooks.com 800-883-2114 books for sick children or to prisoners www.prisonreader.org 212-349-6741 www.readertoreader.org books appropriate for pre-K to high school students including textbooks Cell Phones www.calltorecycle.org or www.calltoprotect.org 888-901-SAFE Clothing/Linens www.Goodwill.com or Salvation Army picks up most everything 800-95-TRUCK or Red Cross www.wecollectclothes.com 866-468-7228 schedule a pick up online or Police Athletic League 1-888-516-2274 www.wecashclothes.com Coats www.onewarmcoat.org Computers and all equipment www.Cristina.org 203-863-9100 Dresses (Prom/Bridesmaid) http://www.glassslipperproject.org Eyeglasses www.givethegiftofsight.com or www.neweyesfortheneedy.org Musical instruments www.hungryformusic.org Fur (or fur trimmed articles) given to orphaned animals HSUS (Humane Society US) Fur Donation 2100 L Street NW Washington, DC 20037 Sneakers (any condition) www.nikereuseashoe.com (used to resurface ball courts) Others in your area check out www.citylinks.org GIVE STUFF AWAY (NON CHARITABLE) Books www.bookswap.com or www.paperbackswaap.com (includes textbooks)
