Happy Wednesday everyone, hope this week hasn’t dragged for you like mine has, but I’m positive it has only felt like a million years because the Hubs and I are going camping out to Joshua Tree this weekend AND I’M SO EXCITED TO MAKE SMORES.
Many of you know I’ve begun volunteer teaching at KidWorks, a local children’s charity that serves at-risk youth in Santa Ana. In lieu of summer approaching, they are in desperate need of school supplies for its summer programs.
I’ve got 1,000 followers on this blog and if each of you sent a $5 gift card from Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc. It would make a huge difference in these children’s lives.
I’m hoping to collect enough gift cards to go out and make the school supply purchases. I will post updates regarding how much was raised and how much stuff we were able to raise (together) for this program.
Here’s an idea of what they’re looking for:
- Binders
- Composition Notebooks
- Spiral Notebooks
- Wood Pencils
- Mechanical Pencils
- Graph Paper
- Poster Paper
- Erasers
- Crayola Crayons & Markers
- Colored Pencils
- Dry Erase Markers
- Dry Erase Erasers
- Colored Chalk
- Tape
- Glue Sticks
- First Aid Kits
- Post Its
- Index Cards
- Acrylic Paints
- Rulers
- Index Cards
- Kleenex Boxes
- Hand Sanitizer
- Construction Paper
- Scissors
- Clorox Wipes
- Black Sharpies
- Dictionaries/Thesaurus
- Manila Folders
- White Printer/Copy Paper
This is only HALF the list! KidWorks serves over 500 kids a day between all four of their locations and could use all the help they can get.
If it feels sketchy sending me a gift card with $5-$25 on it, please don’t! It feels weird for me to ask a bunch of ‘strangers’ but I’m honest, swear it! I’ll even provide you picture proof of all the supplies delivered!
Please send the gift cards to this address: 1302 Industrial Drive Tustin California 92780
Thank you in advance!
One drop of water doesn’t make a difference, but many drops of water create a garden
Be my garden, folks!
