First Drop off!

Last week we dropped off half of our items to Yolanda House, a domestic violence shelter in Portland, Oregon. 


Final Tally!

Well, we did it!  In a year with low charitable donations all over the place, we were able to collect:

26 blankets
4 pairs of booties/hats
several items of clothing
a HUGE bin of toys

These items make a huge difference to struggling family, thank you all!

Thank you Twisted!
