just_the_things76. Donate one toy to Toys for Tots every December
I bought a toy for this during the summer because it was just too cute to not buy. I was tempted to keep it for myself, but I didn't really entertain the idea :-)
I went onto their website and it seemed difficult this year to figure out where the drop-off locations were. The three I've used in the past weren't listed. But I did discover that the regional park authority was a drop-off location, as I have passed it on my way to work to both of the jobs I've had for the past 10 years. It was neat to finally go inside the building!
I was worried, because there were no toys in the box. But, apparently, they were on their 8th or 9th box. I dropped off the toy and turned to go when the woman behind the desk asked me what my name was. Turns out she was a family friend from the neighborhood where I grew up and my little sister's girl scout troop leader from back then. I don't think I've seen her for maybe 17 years. How neat to see her again and hear about her family. I'm so glad they're doing well. And I'm so glad that the place and time of this donation came together to facilitate this great coincidence!
And I hope some little child likes this wooden puzzle. I adored wooden puzzles when I was a kid. And I know that's not what the hot toy is now-a-days, but it's a classic ;-)
