I just returned to the office after visiting the Seattle Ronald McDonald House. Those of you that follow me on Twitter and my blog may have seen my posts about my Third Annual Seattle Ronald McDonald House Toiletries Drive. I collect goods all year long, and send out a reminder to my clients and past clients every November, and I deliver them in January.
5230 - 40th Ave. NE / Seattle 98105
At first, it looked like I wouldn't have much to donate between what I had and what my mom and a friend from church gave me. I was concerned that with the way the economy is, people would be less inclined to give or wouldn't have traveled and picked up free shampoos from hotels. However, as I sent out reminders on Facebook and Twitter, more people came through!
So, I would like to publicly thank everyone that donated this time. Thank you SO MUCH to:
Kim Baldwin, Claire Seigenthaler, Stacy Lynch (she generously EXPRESS MAILED a big box of items from Colorado!!), Kristi Harris, Diane Bergman, Heidi Bergman (she thoughtfully brought items to me when visiting from her home in the U.K.!), Anne Reisenauer, Paula Potter, Rhonda Porter & Mr. Porter, Becky Taylor, and Rebecca Morgenroth.
You ladies (and gentleman) are awesome!! Without you, I wouldn't have much to deliver to this wonderful non-profit organization!
Ronald and the donations. Our donations - thank you!
If you would like to help, you can visit the Seattle Ronald McDonald House and drop off any unused toiletry items such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc. If you click the blog Category Ronald McDonald House on the right side of the page, you can read more about this drive.
Thanks again, everyone!! I am so thankful to know so many kind people that are willing to help and support me and the causes I believe in.
