either handmade or new for which you have no need, but would like to donate.
Think outside of the box! We ask that your donations be either brand new, or
have a value of $20 or more. In addition, we will not be accepting any items
containing alcohol, tobacco or any home-made food donations this year. </span><span></span></span></span></p>
