Joe, that's just weird.
Everyone, To follow is a list of things the Goodman's could use. Laura is going to e-mail me with anything else they might think of, so check back, I might have more to add. My community is also busy gathering up some things. Please e-mail me with what you wish to donate, so we don't duplicate stuff. Laura said we could drop things off at their house in the garage. I will give you their address once I get it from her.
Thanks! (Here's the list...)
***If anyone knows of any local business/restaurants that would be willing to donate in a larger/other capacity, PLEASE contact me.*** IMPORTANT NOTE: Please do not donate broken or junky things, things with missing pieces, stained clothes, etc. We want to provide them with items that you would use in your own home. Please only donate new things or ones that are in great shape.
I am going to break the list into categories. That being said, here it goes:
HOUSEHOLD ITEMS: Lamps Sofa/large chair Hotpads/dishtowels (good condition/new please) Spatulas TV Large baskets to store blankets, etc.
CLOTHING DAD Workout shorts (Adidas brand fits best) Size LG T-shirts - Sz. LG (the kind you hang out in, like from Adidas/Nike) Socks (athletic crew, maybe for a size 10 or so shoe) Sleep shorts/sleep t-shirts - Sz LG
MOM Pajamas - shorts/cami sets, Sz SM Jeans - (she said she just bought some at Nordstrom Rack for about $12 before the fire, she is sz. 6, inseam 34); maybe a gift card for this so she can try on and pick out her own Tank tops - sz. SM (brown, pink, neutral colors)
11 YEAR OLD Sz. 14-16 Needs fall clothes for back to school Underwear Couple pairs of shorts/cool t-shirts Gift card to Adidas outlet or sporting store so they can buy shoes Socks (size 6 shoe)
8 YEAR OLD Sz. 10-12 Needs fall clothes for back to school Underwear Couple pairs of shorts/cool t-shirts Socks (size 6 shoe) Gift card to Adidas outlet or sporting store so they can buy shoes
3 YEAR OLD Sz. 4T Needs fall clothes Couple pairs of shorts/t-shirts Socks Gift card to buy shoes (maybe the Stride Rite outlet in Leesburg)
FUN STUFF FOR KIDS Playset for backyard for three year old or swings Baseball cards Sports equipment Age appropriate games (no lost pieces, please) Age appropriate books Toys Arts and Crafts stuff (Crayola Magic stuff would be great for 3 year old, he likes to paint and color) I will add to this list once I learn more about what they like.
I will not be able to accept everything from everyone as I know I will get duplicate offers from people, so please bear with me as I sort through things as they come in. It is tricky to manage the flow of donations, but I will do the best I can. Thanks in advance to you all for your generosity! (By the time you read this, some things may have already been donated, so please check with me before you drop anything off at their house. I don't want to bother them with extra stuff they don't need.)
Again, gift cards are great (Target, Giant, Harris Teeter, Kohls, Wal Mart, etc.)
If you have any questions about other items you may have to donate, just send me a message. Blessings to you all, Carey
