I have TONS of stuff I can give.

Would this be tax-deductible by chance?

[MissMandy]

Yes - please email us (sickgirlz_co@yahoo.com) with a list of the items you are donating and the value and we will email you back a receipt. Thanks! :)

[Toxicgirl]

Yes, it will be tax deductible. I will have to get all that information from Sox Place how they issue receipts, etc. Thank you so much.

SickGirlz is collecting donations for Sox Place!

Sox Place is a daytime drop-in center for street youth. They range in age from 12 to 30 and belong to the youth sub-culture known as "street kids." Many have been abandoned by parents/guardians, some are victims of the foster care system and most have been tossed aside by society. Addictions to drugs, alcohol, violence and sex are a part of their everyday lives. Most are just trying to survive! A hot meal and a safe place is provided Monday through Saturday. There are activities such as movies, video games, foosball, pool and ping pong. Staff and volunteers spend their time interacting with the youth and building friendships in order to provide healthy and constructive relationships. Sox Place provides: meals, a clothing bank, personal hygiene supplies, Internet access, Mentoring and Guidance, crisis intervention and referrals to other services.

Alrighy,

I've been collecting things here at work and have 5 big garbage bags full of clothing items to donate. The quest continues, but I'll be dropping some stuff off this weekend!

Scott

[Toxicgirl]

Wow, thanks so much. Not sure if all that will fit in the bin. Let me know when you plan to drop the stuff off and I will have to go grab it from the location. :)

[rybo]

I can drop it off to you directly if you want...PM me an address of the best place and I'll be happy to bring it to you.

[Toxicgirl]

If you can take them to Foothills BMW that would work best for me. I live right down the street so I can grab it late Saturday.

[rybo]

Bumpin' this up, the quest here is going well and I'm now up to about 10 bags full of stuff. There is a mix of kids and adult clothes. I'm not 100% sure I'll make it to denver this weekend, but if I do I'll let you know when so that I don't overwhelm foothills.

[Toxicgirl]

Cool! 10 bags! Yes let me know when you plan to come down. You can probably just drop it off at Sox Place. They are open on Saturdays.

[Toxicgirl]

I just got a call from Foothills to come pick up like 10 bags of stuff. Was that you?? :) ha ha, got me on a mission picking stuff up already! Looks like this is going to be very successful! Thank you!

[rybo]

hey,

Just got home and yes that was me. I'm sorry it happened a day early, but I happened to end up in denver today and had the stuff with me. I hope it wasn't too much of a hassle.

Thanks for doing this!

I have tons of clothes and shoes and stuff in big trash bags. I'll drop them off at CO Powersports on 104th.

[Kevin]

I've got three bags full of children's clothing - boys, size 4-5, girl's, size 5-7, shoes, and some men's clothing. If you can use them, can I drop them off at performance late sunday? I know you said this was the last weekend for the drive, and I don't know - is performance open on sunday?

[Toxicgirl]

we havn't picked up the bins from Performance or Grand Prix yet. I think Grand Prix is open on Mondays now.

[Dracus]

Sorry, I got busy with home improvement projects this weekend and totally spaced taking the clothes over there :(
