love2read Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 A group of us have been making rag dolls for our daughters for Christmas and are wondering how to locate a charity that could use them for needy children. Our local hospital is small and doesn't really have a pediatric floor and the local woman's abuse shelter is hard to get in touch with. Please share what you know. These dolls are lovely; we want to take care of this soon before the extra dolls get put away and forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nscribe Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 It may be worthwhile to contact your local division of child protective services/social services and or police station. Very often (too often sadly) kids are picked up in domestic calls and leave without anything. In the past we have packed bags that had 1 pair socks, 1 pair undies, 1 toothbrush, 1 toothpaste, 1 pj's, 1 note pad, 1 pack colored pencils and a small stuffed snuggable something. It helps the officers so much to have something to give the kids, and while they comment on the utility of the items, they have been known to pull out the snuggable item and say it really helps remove some of the tension.
