Today I was supposed to host a PTSA Executive Committee meeting at my house, but it got cancelled in the afternoon. With little time to regroup and find another project, I thought about making a meal and donating it to a shelter, as has been my plan B on other occasions. Home cooked food seems to always be appreciated at many shelters.
But that would have involved a trip to the grocery store as well as to the shelter and my schedule was already pretty full. So I came up with the idea of starting a used men's jeans drive. This idea comes from a comment posted a few days ago by someone at Miriam's Kitchen, where I recently donated about 100 mugs (with a substantial donation from another mom).
The comment said that Men's jeans were very much needed. So far I have two pair - from my husband. My plan is to post something about it on the MoverMoms list and collect from friends too. Hopefully the effort will yield a bunch.
This journey was bound to take some unexpected turns - I just hope I have the creativity to come up with new ideas as needed. As always I welcome your suggestions!
