Well, the ripple effect keeps getting bigger with every post. It is fantastic! I encourage all of you to let me know if you payed any of these sprinkles forward :)
My 4th sprinkle is a fun one! My grad dress has been hanging in my closet for years (since 2005) and I have put it on a few times (mostly to see how much weight I have gained...but it fit every time although I have not tried it lately ha-ha!!). It is taking up space and really doing nothing so I decided to donate it. It actually took a while for me to find a place that takes grad dresses other than the obvious thrift stores. I finally found the place I am going to donate my dress to...The Cerebral Palsy Association! It is so easy, they come and pick up your donations for you!! I am going to donate a lot of other clothes as well that I have cleaned out of my closet. What a simple way of doing some good and also gaining some space in your house. I strongly suggest donating your old dresses(bridesmaid, wedding, graduation etc) to a girl who needs it more than the closet does. The two places that I found who would take them are The Cerebral Palsy Association email them at pickup@cpalberta.com or Women in need at dispatch@womeninneed.net .
Let me know if you pay this sprinkle forward! nicole.dundas@hotmail.com @nickydundas on Twitter and The Happy Sprinkle on Facebook!!
Nicky, I don't usually follow Blogs, but I love what you are doing! The Walk In Closet also takes donations of womens gently used work clothes, then women in need can go and choose a professional outfit to attend job interviews that will eventually help them get back on their feet.

Nicky, I think this is such a great Idea. You always have shown how you like to help others as well as the earth.
ReplyDeleteI do not have any grad dresses or an old wedding dress or any women's clothes as a matter of fact, well because I'm not a women lol. However, I do have some clothes lying in the back of my closet that I could help someone out. I actually know someone that is going through a little bit of a snag right now so I think it is time to clean up abit.
Keep it up!
