[RP TownTalk] Neighbors in Need

[Nancy Augustine]

I have some gently used toys that I would like to donate somewhere. Does
anybody have any suggestions?  I know about freecycle, and I know Goodwill
is nearby.

What a very timely and thoughtful suggestion, Dannielle.  Taking this as
inspiration, for future reference I've started a page on the Wiki where we
can list local charities. I've gone ahead and added your Christian Life
Center suggestion -- and will be happy to add any other local charities that
anyone else has kind words for. 

For now, this info is on this page on the Wiki:

I'll add any charities recommended here on TownTalk, or hit me off list.
*Or* you can add them yourself on the Wiki!

Friends, 

I know you may also have received the same emails recently--toys for tot
donations at record lows and food shelf pantries barely stocked.  These are
not false stories.  The need this year is greater than ever before.  We have
many families in Riverdale Park that need assistance this year as well.  If
you can contribute a toy or some food, I know the gift would be appreciated.
Here are two places that I know that will make sure your contribution gets
to people in this immediate community.  Please chime in, if you know of
others. 

Christian Life Center on Taylor Road.  They operate a food pantry and small
clothing shop weekly.  They also sponsor several families in the area.  New
and used clothing and gently-used toys are appreciated.  Can/boxed food is
also accepted.   

The town staff have once again adopted several families in town for the
holidays.  The families need both food and gifts for the kids.  I don't know
all the details, but Colleen Ferguson or anyone at town hall can help you
out.  I cc'd her on this email. 

Thanks and have a wonderful holiday.

Dannielle
