Alright, like my brother mentioned last night, we are organizing a toy drive to benefit a few local non-profit groups and some families.

We have wishlist tags that are child-specific, with three items listed on each. We are also taking general donations for children ages 6 months-16 years, and gift cards for parents.

Wishlist pick-up/Toy Drop-Off Location: Pier 4, address. Johnny and I can also come to you if needed.
Deadline: December 20

All toys should be new and unwrapped. We have one person to help the two of us organize the gifts (thanks Max!) and could probably use at least one extra pair of hands, if not more. Monetary donations are accepted, but really we're looking for toys and clothing the kids can unwrap on Christmas morning. The money will be divided and given straight to the organizations, likely going to Christmas meals.

If you're unable to go to a store, that's fine. You can order items and have them shipped directly to us, just indicate whether it's for a specific child or not.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

	I don’t have a lot of money, yet, but I’d like to help. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Do you want to help with the organizing of which gift goes with which list? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I want to participate somehow. This is a wonderful idea. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's always pretty rewarding. After we get all the gifts to the groups, I'm going to help one of them with delivering a few. Do you want to help out then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	automailist 2017-12-05 03:21 pm UTC (link)
	Absolutely, I can be there. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Thanks for organizing this. I'd love to help. That is, after the play is over? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	This is small scale compared to what we usually do back home in New York, but I'm glad we're able to continue the tradition. We'll be happy to have you, Kurt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And hey! I already have the pointy elf ears! I'm a natural. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Glad to help, and I might be able to grab some additional hands if we need it. Also I'd take a wishlist tag for myself, cause I want to get something for someone. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mamafantastic 2017-12-04 06:07 pm UTC (link)
	I appreciate it. Come by anytime, one of us is usually here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	seattleangel 2017-12-05 12:19 am UTC (link)
	Yeah I'm happy to do it. I haven't done enough of this sort of thing since I got here. I'll definitely be around. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I don't know if it means anything since most comics are no longer in print here, but I've got some action figures from when ⚡ was a comic book store. Is that something that could be of interest? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mamafantastic 2017-12-04 08:02 pm UTC (link)
	I think there are kids out there who would love them, really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	diluvial 2017-12-04 08:30 pm UTC (link)
	I will borrow a car and see about bringing them over. Probably closer to the deadline than now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mamafantastic 2017-12-04 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	That's fine, or we can pick them up if it's easier. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	diluvial 2017-12-04 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Let me get back to you in like a week and a half? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I happen to have a bit of spare money so I can take a couple of tags and throw in some general gifts as well. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mamafantastic 2017-12-04 08:02 pm UTC (link)
	That's definitely appreciated, thank you! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'll stop by and grab a tag. Maybe a few if I can talk my roommates into doing it with me. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mamafantastic 2017-12-04 08:03 pm UTC (link)
	We've got plenty to spare, and I can always request more if we need them. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	gfweasley 2017-12-04 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	I'll come by for a wishlist and I have some general trinkets and toys (of the non-explosive and non-magical variety) that I'd like to donate. (Reply to this)

	worshipfullness 2017-12-06 01:33 am UTC (link)
	I'll stop by, absolutely. Thank you. (Reply to this)
