Want to know a great way to help out? Grab a shopping bag and keep it handy to put extra new things that you might accumulate from now until the dinner dance. For example, any extra office supplies (a pad, pen…), toys, school supplies (folder, markers…), beauty products (lotions, make-up…), cleansing supplies (sponge, cleansers…).
