Actually I do every year, I also do the canned food thing and the "giving tree" at a local church....that's right, PitViper in a church.
I have NEVER seen a Marine or any other kind of Service person by the TFT bin....One time I saw them dropping it off, that was it. Usually it's just there. |

Its a great thing to do.
We also do food drives and what not, but the TFT is really a grea thing because, lets face it, no matter how bad off someone is, ALL KIDS deserve some toys. They shouldnt be burdened with "adult" problems because their adults have problems most of us will never know. For christs sake, we are all on this site because (most of us) have expensive computers, expensive internet service and spend GOBS of money on friggen' toys to relive our childhood!!!!! Lets give to some innocent kids so THEY can HAVE a childhood. PS: I agree with the boy statement, so try and pick up some girl stuff too, or unisex toys. Pick up 4 or 5, $5 dollar toys. Itll be the BEST money you spend all year. |

i donate every year have for a very long time. i grew up in a very poor environment so i have a very personal attachment to help making x-mas a good thing for other disadvantaged kids.
here is one bag of joes i'm dropping off. going out today to hopefully get a couple more. i've often found very good deals on mixed cases of hotwheels on ebay. you can't get them cheap in stores so i've bought cheap hand picked cases before. you get some big smile when dumping 72+ hotwheels in the donation box.

Got some play-doh and a My Little Pony playset pretty cheap a few weeks ago for this expressed purpose. Just trying to find a TFT drop off.
Toys are the best part of Christmas (who wants clothes, really) so this is a no brainer. |

Let's think of the girls too. Anyone hitting Marshalls or TJ Maxx for Joes can grab some Littlest Pet Shop or Disney Princess stuff. They have good prices on those items.

Does anybody else buy up the clearance items and True Hero stuff for the donations box or is it just me? Iron Man figs $5/each Star Trek Figs $3.98 I wish they took opened items. I got a whole bunch of TFs Animated Figs out of a Craigslist purchase. Last edited by Bujo; 12-04-2010 at 07:11 PM.. |
