The Salvation Army's Angel Tree Program provides new clothing and/or toys for children. A sponsoring company or corporation places a Christmas tree in a secure, high-pedestrian traffic area or lobby. The tree is decorated with numbered paper angel tags with the first name, age and gender of a child who will receive the gift. Contributors remove one or more tags from the tree and purchase appropriate gifts for the child or children described on the tags. The toys are then delivered to the unit and later picked up by the parent to distribute to the child/children on Christmas Day. http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/
Hey not sure where u live but i'm n Indianapilis, IN & thete r clothing pantries here. Hey if they're not ur style b creative! U can always make homemade stencils potatoes & sponges work well, then house paint wrks great, & can even b wasjed. I recommendjeans & plain tshirts or sweats. Also most thrift shopd have half off dayz so they can cycle thru their nventory. Also every big city or college town has gteat dumpster dives! Also if u get good @ hand painting jeans take sum pics & sell em online I've seen em go 4 hundreds! Also duct tape is n rt now & cheap u can make bags, headbands, & clothes. If makin clothes start with an old piece of clothing 4 the undergarment 1st then go crazy. Hey i've been there best advice is 2 swallow ur pride & make the most outta what u can. U'll feel better n the long run & as a young woman it can b dangerous accepting gifts often men will make u feel like a queen 2 get U 2 do things 4 them it's not worth it! Hey when I lived n Chicago I always came across designer duds n the garbage, just b careful the best finds r usually left on the outside of the dumpsters.
