A Compiled Wish List

I did some research yesterday, checking out the wish lists at a ton of homeless shelters. Basically, they are all asking for the same things. So, I’ve combined the most important ones…ones that go along with the theme of this project…

New blankets

New or gently used stuffed animals

action figures

Diapers

Pull Ups

Underwear

Socks

Pajamas
Slippers

towels

toothbrush/toothpast

hair bows/bands/clips

educational age appropriate toys

books

coloring books

crayons

and, for the older kids…

calculators

pens/pencils

spiral notebooks

along with some of the other things mentioned.

also, backpacks and totes, to fill

anything that you would think these kids could use, love and take with them wherever they move around to!

My husband is going to talk to the high school art teacher, from where he teaches. He is going to see if she will have her students created totes for this project.

I think dollar stores are a great place!!! Everything that is needed can be bought there!!!

I’m going to start looking into shelters that don’t get a lot of help. I’m in Michigan, we have a bunch. But…if any of you know of ones in your areas, please let me know!!

I’m open to any ideas and suggestions. Let’s make this a blogcommunity effort, OK!?

If anyone knows how to make a badge that will link to this blog…I would appreciate it!! I have no clue how to do it!
