| ULLRS DONATE AND HELP AT TOYS FOR TOTS WAREHOUSE ULLRs opened their hearts and wallets to brighten the holidays for children by donating nearly $300 in cash/checks and eight huge bags of toys filled with games, books, stuffed animals, cars, dolls, etc. On Monday afternoon, December 9, eleven ULLRs plus a guest came to the Toys For Tots warehouse to help sort toys. That same day Target employees also came to help, and they finished most of the sorting by the time we arrived. So, ULLRs became box-put-together experts. We, with a little help from some Target folks, put together seven pallets of boxes with 240 boxes on each pallet. You do the math – that is a lot of boxes! We unfolded, opened, folded, taped, and stacked 1,680 boxes that will be filled with toys for kids. During previous years when we helped at the warehouse, we spent our time sorting the toys, so this year we learned another aspect of this whole program. Although it was a very cold day outside, working inside with the boxes kept us busy and active for a couple of hours. We arrived at Houlihan’s just on time for happy hour and lunch, and we all plan to help at the warehouse again next year. |
