Local charity could use some donations, if you're in the area

Cut and pasted from a local mom's chat group:
Did you know that a child in our foster care system moves an average of 7 times? And over 80% of these children are handed a black plastic bag to pack all of their belongings into to make this move.

This year CABOR (Cleveland Area Board of Realtors) has chosen to join with Suitcases for Kids to help bring some dignity to foster kids. Started by a ten year-old in North Carolina and joined by 4-Hers and Scouts across America, this has become a national organization. To learn more about the organization, see http://www.suitcasesforkids.org/

Because I feel that this is a worthy project that many of us can participate in with virtually no cost to ourselves, I thought I would get the word out. The other day I was at the home of one of my sellers getting some paperwork signed and they were then going to take out the trash. I took a few ficus trees from them and they jokingly offered me 3 suitcases! Many of us, or our parents, have old suitcases with no wheels or 20 suitcases and only 4 people in the family. Why not donate them?

My office is a drop off location - 1240 N. Abbe Rd. in Elyria across the street from LCCC or give me a call. I would be happy to come pick them up from you.

Ordinarily we don't have anything to contribute to these sorts of "stuff" drives, but we've got a couple of suitcases that haven't seen the light of day since we returned from Japan, so it looks like I'll be heading out to Elyria next week.
