<DIV></DIV>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. <BR><BR>For now, this info is on this page on
the Wiki: <A
href="http://rpwiki.wetpaint.com/page/Think+Local">http://rpwiki.wetpaint.com/page/Think+Local</A><BR>I'll
add any charities recommended here on TownTalk, or hit me off list. *Or* you can
add them yourself on the Wiki! <BR><BR>

<DIV>Friends,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks and have a wonderful holiday.</DIV>
