Our friend Thomas Hails died much too young of AIDS, it is OK you know his name, he has been gone a…read morelong time and his family knows I took care of him. There have been giant holes in our hearts ever since he died. This is one of the reasons we always participate in "Dining Out For Life." The Angels took such good care of him before he passed, oh so many years ago. A simple check on him and the dropping off of food made me feel better when I couldn't be there. He would get a kick out of the idea that the ball-n-chain and I were out eating and drinking beer and toasting his name. "Drink to me" were Pablo Picasso's last words. Thomas was an artist and would have been down with that. There are always people at the event who have envelopes so you can drop off an extra bit of money for the cause. I highly encourage it. If I win the lotto, this is where my money is going.

This non-profit organization fights poverty by collecting new and used shoes, how cool is that!…read more This allows them to create jobs in poor and disadvantaged communities via direct donations and by provisioning selected micro-enterprise programs. Since they began in 2006, they've distributed over 35 million pairs of shoes in 127 countries and all 50 US States, impressive! They are various ways to help, simply by donating your used shoes, volunteering or even traveling to meet micro-entrepreneurs. I recently volunteered just a few hours of my time, and with a few others, we loaded a truck with 27,642 pairs. The organizators were very good at providing feedback once our "job" was completed and it was great to know that with this truck they can provide a full year of food, shelter and education for 35 families (plus the fact that they don't end up in landfill). Families came to help, there were jobs for kids also! They were having fun climbing on the mountain of bags full of shoes and pushing them to the bottom so that they could easily be picked up by adults. Too often, giving to charities is very abstract, here you really see the impact of your help. In this case, the truck was then going to a warehouse in Wadley, AL, where the shoes are sorted before being shipped to entrepreneurs around the world. Just one step between donation and distribution, which allows to give a lot more to the person who needs it the most. Visit their website to find a way to donate shoes, and you can even host a shoe drive if you have more time.

Once I opened the storage unit and saw how much stuff I didn't remember putting in it 3 years ago including a couple of large boxes of clothes. I do a lot of shopping at Goodwill but I prefer to donate my clothes to organizations like Clothes To Kids of Denver. I called them up and asked what kind of clothes they accepted. Note: they take all season clothes, shoes, hats, and accessories. That was great news because I had all of those things to donate including a few purses and a couple of bags. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They were deep into a major reorganization of all of the clothing donations which was massive! Denver: take your gently used clothing to Clothes To Kids it will go a long way to helping kids, teens, and adults get back on their feet.
