People often forget that after toy, food and\/or clothing drive is over in during the holiday season that organizations are still in need.<\/p>\n
After everyone donates toys to children in need\u00a0 & food to the hungry for Thanksgiving & Christmas, people often forget there is still the spring & summer.<\/p>\n
Personally, these are the two season I love to donate, not only because of the low donation turn out, but for the different items that can be donated!<\/p>\n
Remember, school is out of session during the summer, so a lot of children go hungry without school lunches. This is a great time to donate non-perishable kid-friendly foods like; applesauce packs, crackers, pasta, granola bars, dried fruit, etc. Also, don’t forget that summer means it’s hot! Donating toiletries for showers & personal hygiene are also high on the list!<\/p>\n
Not only is food important\u00a0to donate; but toys & clothing!\u00a0 This is a different season; in the winter a lot of people donated coats & indoor toys.\u00a0 This is a great season to donate shorts, tank tops, water tables, sports equipment, etc!<\/p>\n
Remember, donations do not have to be expensive! Pick-up items when you see them on sale, shop Amazon deals<\/a> & even shop Wish<\/a>!<\/p>\n Lastly, don’t forget I keep both the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank & <\/a>Children’s Home Toy\/Clothing<\/a>\u00a0wish list open all year round!\u00a0 Both lists do go straight to their doors!\u00a0 Both lists are updated monthly and kept under $50 limit.<\/p>\n Please don’t forget to donate all year round! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me at tiffsetzler@gmail.com<\/a>.\u00a0 Also, remember to be on the lookout from May-July for the annual Birthday Toy Drive benefiting the Children’s Home of Pittsburgh<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" People often forget that after toy, food and\/or clothing drive is over in during the holiday season that organizations are still in need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"TSetzler Designs keeps an open online wish lists to be donated to Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank & Children's Home of Pittsburgh all year round!
