Item: two rainbow foods plastic bags of beanie babies
Donated: The Ronald McDonald House
Little did I know this week that I'd be headed to the Ronald McDonald house over my lunch hour with a coworker to donate beanie babies and a few other stuffed animals. Yes, I confess, it was a guilty (and secret) pleasure: I was sucked in to the beanie baby craze in the late nineties. I had a few friends that were into it and shopping for them became a social activity for us. Since then, they've been suffocating in their plastic bags in my storage area, sad and longing for attention. So, when my coworker said she had some to donate and asked me if I wanted to go to the old Ronald McDonald, I jumped at the chance. Getting rid of beanie babies and giving them to sick kids? That's definitely a win-win.
P.S. I received a nice thank you note from them a few days later. Who knew clowns were so nice?
