What would you want if you had nothing? Teen Ink, a magazine that features teen writing, has come up with a cool hurricane relief project for the Gulf Coast victims of Katrina. Help make affected teens' lives a little more normal by sharing your extra stuff. Load up a shoebox with new or "gently used" teen-friendly items, mail it to Teen Ink, and they will put together one massive donation to a national organization (stipulating that everything goes to teens).
Suggested Items to Donate:
*****Stamps*****Post cards*****Phone cards*****CDs
*****Gift cards for stores like CVS and Target*****DVDs
*****VHS movies*****Hair Items*****Hats*****Socks
*****Playing cards*****Paperback books*****Flip-flops
*****Sunglasses*****Pens*****Pencils*****Markers*****Belts
*****Calculators*****Notepads*****Watches*****Jewelry
Gretchen's Idea: Go to a dollar store or Five Below! They have tons of cool stuff for not a lot of money!
