But if we're gonna give them to our respective boys and girls club, would it technically be a drive since they're gonna get like one toy?
why not coli members from the same area decide on a specific boys and girls club and set up their own drive, that way we can have a bunch of mini drives throughout the country.

we can definitely connect, but I would prefer to have the dialogue in here, so this can be a true collective effort. I merely suggested this, I want us to work and collab to make this happen. drop that knowledge breh :lupe:

My personal goal is to reach as many children as possible. If we get a good participation rate, like a 100 gifts, I would pay someone a hundred to coordinate the mailing of the gifts and shyt.
I'm a freight broker with numerous shipping accounts, FedEx Freight, UPS Freight, ect..:manny:

Hey yall,

You know I'm always thinking about ways that we can give back.
Why don't we start a toy drive for Christmas for our black kids in poverty, and put our collective efforts together to create some positive change in our communities.

I got something for the duns, I will donate like 20 books, something in the 20-30 dollar range. It doesnt have to be expensive but there is no price limit. I would honestly rather have a bunch of small gifts that can be widely distributed rather than a small amount of expensive gifts.

And we can mail them ourselves to a respectable organization to distribute, somewhere we all agree on. I suggest Boys and Girls Clubs, because they are everywhere, but we can dialogue on that and gain a consensus and move forward. Thats just a suggestion.
Let's help the youngins :to:
I'm down. I think everything should be shipped to one particular location though, preferably in a black city.

The main reason why I suggested a pm is because it weeds the people who want to troll and those who won't take any part in it. But if you wanna take that risk then so be it.

Here are some pics from the one we threw last year

Do the donations have to be brand new? I do not mind buying new products at all , but I have a lot of unused items laying around the house and I wanted to give them away.

I think we should mail them all to one person or one place on behalf on the coli. Maybe @cook or @Brooklynzson son can collect them and send them off or they can choose a trusted person to mail them to an organization.

Maybe have an East coast address, west coast address and an international address? :manny:
Why not just donate the money and link @cook and @Brooklynzson what to buy .


Then we can vote where to donate the toys :ld:

So ya'll would send me all the toys and what not & I would drop them all off to one Boys & Girls club where I'm at? I'm down to do that.


@freddykruegeronapill If ya'll send everything to me & I drop it to one Boys & Girls do they disperse them to other Boys & girls clubs?

If they are ok with the money then I think that would be a good idea because some places may need other essential items like school supplies, maybe food, clothing for the winter, sanitary items, and etc. They can use the money to buy products like that for the minors. :ld:
