While you don’t need to itemize each and every piece of clothing, some attempt at accurate description is important. I’ve said before that my mom is great at this: she’ll write “four pairs women’s dress slacks, hardly worn.” [...] [...] When you make charitable contributions, you have to be somewhat specific on the receipt. “4 bags of clothes” (one of the entries on Mr. Roberts’ tax return) is not sufficient.

We have thrift shoppes in Walnut Creek, Dublin, Danville, Concord, Alamo and Antioch. Donation of used clothing and household items have been down in 2009 so a little help would be appreciated. Our Hospice Foundation raises money to pay for Hospice care for those who do not have Medicare or an insurance Hospice benefit. The Hospice provides pediatrict end-of-life care as long as the usual services. Most of the care occurs in the patient's homes, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living residences but we also have a 6-bed facility called Bruns House where patients can have 24/7 visitors in a friendly environment.

I'm a volunteer & member of KBOO, who has seen firsthand how opportunities for youth (youth under age 21 also get to participate in developing radio programs to air) and other underrepresented groups enhanced lives, especially during this bleak, economic period.

We sent 120 inflatable globes to them and they sent them to schools in Malawi.

Let me humbly suggest SonPower Ministries (http://www.sonpower.com), a small Pennsylvania nonprofit bringing hope to those behind prison walls. I've been on the SonPower board for many years and it's one of the "skinniest" charities I've ever been associated with. Tiny budget, big impact, with Gospel services at prisons (both men's and women's) throughout the state, plus a regular weekly Bible study at Cumberland County Prison. Please check out the website and prayerfully consider a donation at the "Donate Online Store" tab. Thanks and God bless! Thanks for the invitation, TaxGirl!
