Slowly but surely....

Update: Currently the dining room is filled with all of the empty backpacks but I'm hoping for not too much longer. With our first donation I'm hoping to purchase deodorants and other toiletries for the older kids packs. Also, I've picked up some crayons for the packs designated for the younger kids. I still need to pair them up with coloring books.

Also, a good friend has ordered fleece so she can start making some blankets. And another is sending a box of beanie babies my way. Woohoo! Things are starting to come together. I will keep you all posted on any additional progress.

It's somewhat discouraging because it feels like it's moving so slow. But if I've learned anything these past few years, it's patience. Stay tuned...
