Christmas basket ideas.
| 
Nov 7 18:45 UTC 2000 |
I need some suggestions for gift boxes for elderly people who will not have
anybody to share their christmas with. This is part of the Ann Arbor Civilian
police academy alumni associations attempt to bring joy to the elderly at
christmas.
More than suggestions, I need the name of places that might be willing to make
donations. It doesn't need to be much, just something to let them know they
are not totally alone over the holidays.
Places that are willing to donate one item or many. books, toothpaste,
lotion, gloves, things like that. Also food items as these will all be low
income people. baskets will be delivered on Christmas day.
All suggestions welcome.

Kiwanis might be willing to donate small stuffed animals, especially if asked
right before Christmas. They were throwing out enough last year to fill a
truck. They also have lots of used paperbacks, small ceramic items, drinking
glasses. They might be willing to donate gift certificates, you could ask.
If you go right at the end of their December sale, there are lots and lots
of candles and other decorations leftover.

Kiwanis also has lots of used baskets. And often also fake trees.

The card shop at Plymouth/Traver Mall throws away perfectly good
merchandise *every day.* I know this because I know someone who often
goes there to take the stuff from around the dunpster in back.
