[Nfbsf] Changing What It Means To Be Blind: Bute Fire Contributions

[Peacefulwoman89 at cox.net]

You bring up a very practical point. On the other hand, I am thinking about the fact that some of us in the chapter are able to give in small ways; a $3.00 pair of sox, or a $2.00 tube of tooth paste. 

If anyone would like to contribute gas cards, grocery cards, phone cards etc. feel free to also bring these items to the Holiday Party.

      That’s a great idea to do something to help the fire survivors.
      They’ve been saying on TV news that it would be more helpful for fire survivors to receive gift cards for practical needs such as grocery stores, Target, gas cards, etc. so they can buy the things they most need.
      The Red Cross can always use donations of money for the work that they’re doing.
      Aid groups are often somewhat overwhelmed by donations of physical objects. especially this far into an evacuation.
