A suggestion for the holiday decorations (when you decide what to donate). We have recently gone thru several major disasters with folks loosing everything before the holidays. We donated thru a shelter to families moving to temporary housing. The last thing on their minds was replacing decorations and yet they wanted to have some form of holiday happiness for their kids. Even those living in the motels while being evacuated were so happy to have little trees, a string of lights and stockings. Check with you church, your fire dept or even the city for those who have recently lost everything.
