2. I am scouring my house today

and sending anything in unused or excellent condition to the shelter.

They need inflatable beds, they needs all kinds of things - I am a hoarder and this is my big chance to get room back in this large house that is just me and lots of blankets, sheets, pillows, dishes, glasses, cups, etc. I used to entertain a lot, and just kept buy when I stopped. Now is a chance to be a good person about it all. My town adopted a shelter down in south jersey. maybe yours did as well. They also need batteries, paper plates, cups, towels.
I have duplicates on all kinds of things. I will have room again!!!!!!
