Dear Wonderful Daughter – you are a blessing to your mom.
I would suggest that you do the following – if you attend church – ask to put a notice on the bulletin board looking for supplies. So many people have left overs that just sit — because your mom is doing charity work – I would imagine you might be very pleased with the response.
Try going to your local craft store and talk directly with the owner / manager. They may have some things that are a little shop worn / soiled that are not saleable and would be willing to donate – knowing that it is going for a charitable cause.
Also, check with the local branch of the library, the local bank, grocery store. I live in a very small town – and if I saw a request like this I would work very hard to help out. Also, check to see if there are supplies at some of the charities your mom supports — often folks will donate supplies directly.
Do you have an American-Legion, VFW, Masonic lodge, Elks Club or local business owner’s organization – same thought applies.
Also – when the weather breaks – haunt the garage sales on the last day. Many folks give away what doen’t sell — or go very early the first day and leave your name and number and ask the family to call if there is anything left – you might be surprised at people’s generosity – and you might get first pick at possible supplies. Just be yourself.
You sound so sweet to care so much — I totally believe your story — and I’m not very gullible — of course, I am disabled also, and do much of the same types of things for a charity in my son’s name as well as the local Veteran’s hospital. I have been amazed at the response from people who have supported my efforts to supply our local girl scouts as well as another knitting group.
I know that you are not supposed to give an e-mail because you would be swamped with spam – and that’s too bad. I hope these ideas help you think of some local sources.
Best wishes and I hope there is a pm available to send something.
