For those of you that have thought about sending toys to Chief Wiggles there is a new address to send things to.
TOY Drive information
Here is the new shipping address!!!!!
Operation Give
7155 Columbia Gateway Drive
Columbia, MD 21046
NO Guns of any kind
NO Violent action hereos
NO Violent toys
NO Barbie dolls or dolls scantily dressed
NO Toys that shoot something, no projectiles
NO Water guns
NO Makeup
Also, please be careful with anything that requires electricty. Electricity isn't available everywhere in Iraq, and where it is available, it uses a voltage (220v) that is incompatible with most American electronics. Most electrical devices made in America will not work in Iraq without modification.
Excellent choices you should think about including:
Toys
Balls
Stuffed animals
Puppets
Kaleidoscopes
Pinwheels
Small cars and trucks (non-military)
Flying discs
Non-military toy planes
Kites
Coloring books
Non-toy items
Flip-flops
Candy (hard candy is better, chocolate melts in the heat)
Toothbrushes & toothpaste
Dental floss
Brushes and combs
Socks and underwear, for both boys and girls, aged 3-18.
School Supplies
Pencils and small pencil sharpeners
Lined paper or colored paper
Colored pencils
Rulers
Pens and markers (Avoid crayons, they melt in the heat)
Other than that, follow your heart and use common sense. These kids have nothing, so even small things matter a lot.
Packages delivered to the Chief: 712 (Toy boxes continue to trickle in, hopefully enough until our first container arrives!)
You can go to his website to find out all the information, I just put up the few basic details. He is an awesome man that is doing awesome things for the kids in Iraq. It takes someone with a big heart and a lot of love to do what he is doing, along with all the people that are helping him out.
The kids had a great time at their hike yesterday, we had a good time last night for my dads masonic thing. Now we are getting ready for the FOOTBALL GAME!!! Gotta run! Everyone have a great day... I know I will be!!!!! :o)
