The Little Give

The "Little Give"
This is a take off from Oprah's
Big Give
I work for Call Realty and our bosses
wanted to do something for the community
After trying to come up with an idea our boss
decided to give each of us $250.00.
Our job now was to put it to work in the community.
One person gave to the food bank
other ideas were a charity sports event
and to a children's charity
I heard that Spokane Valley Partners
needed clothing for teenage boys and girls
to wear to job interviews.
They were also looking for newborn clothing
Our ward at Church was also putting together
kits for mothers of newborns that can't afford all these items.
So shopping is something I know !
Having worked retail all those years I knew I could do this.
My daughter Kim is a manager at Kohl's department store
with her help I was able to gather up
10 Baby Outfits
6 Bibs
6Pairs of Booties
1 Dress
2 Sweaters
2 Skirts
12 Men's Dress Shirts
4 Men's Ties
9 Pair of Men's Dress Slacks
Our total savings was over $1300.00
Thanks for all the help Kim
I hope some Great Young People get lots of
use out of these clothes
Thanks to Call Realty for your Generosity
and concern for our Community
Thank You for giving me
this opportunity
