Galveston,tx

i am trying to put togather a plan to help out down in galvaston tx.  i spoke with the local grocer and he said that he would help me any way he could.  i have no idea what that means.  could be a donation box set up at the store, or food at low cost, or no cost-  or maybe help paying the gasoline expenses.  i was collecting toys from the grandkids that they have outgrown.  we filled 2 boxes and now we need someone to donate them to..

the local church has a fund for missions.  you need to put in an application with your plan and a board looks it over.  i need to have this all figured out before i submit anything to them.. so that what this post is about.. figuring out how to help.

there is a pharmacutical company near here that sells generic meds for cheap.  i am sure i could get a donation from them.  i already found a connection to the person who sets up their charity donations.  i talked to my cousin and she has a friend who could call someone in a management position.

so, i just need to pull it togather.  what i would like to do is make this an ongoing thing.  use a blog to track where i was going so people who help me and who donate can see that their donation is getting to the people they want it too.. the overhead costs would be minimal.  i can take care of myself, its the gas that would have to be included in the donation or i cant do it.

so, i need to keep talking to people and see what i can come up with.  i leave for the south in 4 wks anyway, so if i can get out of here sooner..  i'll be working on  this.. let me know if you have any suggestions of how i can make this my new 'occupation'  g day.
