Wish lists for charity donations in SF?
Coming down to San Felipe soon. Bringing dog food for rescue, what are other suggestions for churches, schools, orphanage? Are there other
organizations that have a wish list?

Yes, The Food Bank/ Volunteers Unlimited needs a stainless steel work table, a Vita Mix Blender, a used donated laptop for Patty whose died on her.
They always need Canes, Crutches, walkers & wheel chairs & always accept food donations. Any of these will be happily appreciated.

Two great organizations:

http://www.volunteerswithoutlimits.org
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

There is a place north of the main street heading in to town . Go left at the street at the oxo by the monument .Two stop signs then right two
more stops to eucalyptus. it is a thrift store that gives it proceeds to a woman's shelter . Do what is right not what is correct don't listen to the
people who tell you it is not legal to bring old clothes in to baja . Pack it low in your truck and know you are doing right thing .

Many thanks for great suggestions! As it so happens, I have a couple of canes and a walker leftover from hip replacement. Wish I'd thought of the
shoes--I donated my late husband's already. Oh, well, I'm sure I'll have some of mine since I'm downsizing to an rv in the next few months. The
next time our SPCA has a $1 a bag sale, I'll know what to get.
What would the schools like?

Always the school needs school supplies, such as spiral notebooks , pencils , crayons, tablets etc. It is never ending that some cannot even go to
school because they cannot afford the supplies so you can give directly to them(children) also.
99+1 is presently needing supplies for elder care also. Toiletries such as , soap, wash cloths , toothbrushes & paste, shampoo & conditioner
these things are in demad all the time here for folks who have no families to help with their care. Many of us save, soaps, lotions, shapoo &
conditioner from our motel stays when traveling & donate them to these people. I am presently collecting items right now for donation to this
good cause.

My husband and I are the shelter managers for VIVA V.I.V.A. San Felipe. We are always looking for supplies. Such as, sun cloth, baby gates, dog food,
collars, etc. If you have anything you would like to donate, please IM me and I can pick it up. Thank you in advance.
