chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Dr. Phil's TV show and several other shows across the country have begun something to help others. He says we can all do one small thing and it CAN make a difference when added to other people's small gestures. So until further notice in order to be admitted to these shows you must bring one can or box etc. of food. These will be collected daily and sent to many different food banks. Now thats cool...Those food items will multiply fast doing it this way, and everyone should be able to spare a can of one thing or another. BRAVO, for Dr. Phil. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

They also take clothes to the City Mission. If everybody helped others, what a wonderful world we'd have. Agree: Bravo Dr. Phil. Bravo all those folks who share from the heart! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

I would be neat if all similar shows collected something. Maybe Oprah could have everyone bring a book, and Ellen could ask for clothes. Wouldn't that be wild? _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Our Post Office does this as well. I'm sure they probably do this cross country...right? I think it's a brilliant idea though to have the people bring an item to the show. Price is Right is another one that could benefit from doing this. Great idea! _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

Please bring a toy to the next concert, or soemthing needed more than toys, like clothing... _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Some of these Rock Stars sell out entire concert halls and could literally fill an entire train with all the donations they're fans could provide. What a great idea. JJ, the Vegas post offices do this too but many people just pass by the donation boxes. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	On a smaller lever, we have boxes at our church. People put in food doantions whcih are given to the Towson Assistance Center. The food is then sotred on shelves and those in need pretty much get to go and food shop for free. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Our church has a large pantry as well and we stock shelves with food and even school supplies. Once a year we have a huge drive to restock the supplies. Then for Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas special baskets are made up for chosen familys that really need them. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/
