Got Crayons?
August 29th, 2007 | Events
We’re planning to hold a Birthday Bag Blitz on Oct. 27th which is national Make A Difference Day. Those who will be assembling 500 birthday gift bags include mentees from the Kids ‘n Kinship nonprofit organization who often are recipients of volunteer efforts.
To fill the bags, we need 500 new boxes of crayons (any size) along with a variety of other small new toys in quantities of 500. To support this effort the Darts organization, which provides services for seniors, is holding a crayon drive where employees are purchasing these small colorful boxes and placing them in containers at their workplace. We are encouraging others to do the same. Crayons are needed by 10/15 and can be sent to: Cheerful Givers, 1287 Berry Ridge Road, Eagan, MN 55123
If we receive more than 500 boxes of crayons, they will be used to fill additional birthday bags since our goal for this year is to reach 40,000 kids and we all know how kids like to color!
