Scrap Charity: The Gift of Giving
by Tiffany Roberts (Jul 22, 2007) http://www.scrapjazz.com/topics/Miscellaneous/Gifts_and_Craft_Projects/1272.php
I think most of us feel incredibly blessed.
We have families and friends who care for us, children, pets, jobs, homes, and freedoms that many people don't have. Even the simple act of being healthy and whole is a blessing often taken for granted.
I love the idea of using something I adore, scrapbooking, to help benefit others who may not have the blessings in life that I do. The gift of giving is what I like to call it. You can give in many ways. Your time, money, skills, and unused supplies are all necessary and helpful for groups who use scrapbooking as a source of therapy and recreation
Hosting a charity crop is a wonderful way to gather supplies, find like-minded people to join your cause, and to have fun! Donated idea books and magazines are always welcome along with supplies. Once you have some materials you could package supplies into kits, for example. These kits could be donated to any number of youth or elderly groups who would appreciate having them.
