At Kids Club we never let anything go to waste!
We donate anything of use that we don't need. Last month, I cleaned out my craft bins filled with goodies that I use for store events like Village Playdays and Summer Concert Series. I donated anything I didn't need anymore to the Friends of Youth craft room and Whitney Easton who will be teaching in a low income school in the Bay Area this coming fall.
So, last week, I was doing some spring cleaning in our back room and came up with a great big pile of sample and demo games and craft kits that we have no use for anymore. One of my first thoughts was Seattle Children's Hospital. I checked their website and saw that they are always in need of toys for their patients, including crafts kits and games.
How perfect!
Two great big boxes of games and crafts for a large range of ages.
They are going to have lots of fun playing Classic Battleship
or mixing up a batch of bath salts with Spa Science.
