Love the idea. And if you brought the concept into the workplace, you could probably collect even more every week.
That's a really smart idea Larry/Sheila and a good suggestion to really increase the volume by Ann as well. My husband has been bringing all of ours in to his work but I think we are going to change that. I visit with an elderly lady in one of our retirement homes quite often and know they would appreciate having more reading material.
Ann, They do appreciate the thought so the more the merrier!
Anita, It's a win-win for all!
Rene, Little gestures like this can mean so much!
Larry and Sheila.....That's a great idea and very nice thing to do! We are off to deliver food to the shut-ins in our area this morning....we take one Saturday morning a month....it's just good to do good things! Nice post!
Hope you have a great day!---Rob
Very cool idea and a great thing to do for the seniors.............keeps them up on everything and gives them something to look forward to also.
What a Great Idea, I had not thought of that. We will start doing the same thing.
Rob, What is a shut-in?
Roger, We believe they do look forward to receiving them now and it's so much better than throwing them away!
Residents of nursing homes are so happy to receive anything we can take to them and especially our time. Magazines are good because the articles and stories are shorter than a book. And magazines usually aren't too to hold. Good deed, Larry and Sheila
Valerie, Donating magazines to a local charity shop to sell sounds like another great idea!
Kate, It not only is an enjoyment for the residents, you'll see how good you will feel in donating them!
Good morning, Larry & Sheila, this is a lovely idea. Magazines are expensive and I would bet that the residents look forward to getting them. Great idea!
Barbara, We're glad we started doing this and chatting with them is a pleasant way to spend a little time with them also!
What a great idea you guys. Here we have a magazine exchange program in our local library. Bring in magazines you've read and pick up one that someone else has left behind.
But I do like the pay it forward donation to a senior center..... alot!
Larry and Sheila:
