This year, we decided to donate goods to a good charity in the area. Mainly, we donated products that had not sold very well over the course of the year and are overstocked or items that needed to move out of here for space reasons. This year we chose Metropolitan Ministries as our charity of choice. This charity provides toys and personal items for children and adults in need. We gave mainly toys this time, probably about 200 items in total. I hope it helps the kids have a good Christmas - or at least better than they would have otherwise.
Our warehouse employee will be dropping them off over the weekend, as he volunteers there this time of year to help distribute items. Seems like a good cause to me and since it’s not cash, you can always be sure that it reaches the people who need it.
We also offered a promotion to give free gifts to the troops this year as well, which worked out pretty well. I think we sent out quite a few free trees and reindeer to troops and their families. I won’t have a final tally until the new year, but I’m sure we made quite a few people happy!
It’s almost Christmas time and I hope everyone has a great holiday. Here’s a video in this blog that is a great rendition of several christmas (and non-christmas) songs in just a few minutes. Very creative. (H/T: Hotair)
