If you wanna help but don't have money...

[Lyte]

If anyone out there wants to help the people who have been relocated (e.g. Astrodome) from New Orleans but don't have any/much money here are some ideas. Of much need are new underware and new socks. I know I've seen socks at the local Dollar Store.

And...

School supplies and/or books. The kids have lost all their school supplies and there's little for them to do there. So, if you have even two or three books laying around you can send them CHEAP via book rate/fourth class.

Any board games your kids don't play any more?? Send those too!

Any other ideas??

Texas has taken in over 200,000 citizens from New Orleans so I'm going to send some stuff to the Astro Dome. I believe this is the correct address...

Astrodome
8400 Kirby Drive
Houston, TX 77054

Please double check the address before you ship! :]

Put a package together today! You'll be back to work tomorrow and may get too busy.

Did everyone put a care package together yesterday?! I crawled through the attic and found some ol' Star Trek and comic books that aren't doing anything but collecting dust! :tu:

Just as an FYI... book rate or 4th class (cheap, cheap shipping through USPS) refers to ALL kinds of media stuff like books, records, dvds, cds, magazines, etc...etc... can be sent using fourth class shipping.

So, if anyone has things of this nature laying around... unused in the last 6 months... donate them! :tu:

Thanks Lyte for the AWESOME idea :tu: ! There are alot of things we have lying around the house and we think we'll use them later, and the truth is, they end up getting thrown out later.

This is a chance to put all those things towards a great cause :] !

Thanks Lyte! Reputation added!
