My son told me about the Beanies For Baghdad Program. They take donations of other items in addition to Beanie Babies.
http://www.beaniesforbaghdad.com/

We had about 40 Beanie Babies that were just sitting on a shelf. I contacted this program and they gave me an address to send the Beanies to. I figure they will do more good in Iraq than sitting in my house.
 
Thanks for the link. We have a few neglected and and lonely beanie babies looking for a home, too. :wink:
 
Follow-up...

Yesterday I received a very nice thank you letter from the soldier I sent the Beanies to. I didn't expect the letter so it was a nice surprise. She is a mental health specialist in Baghdad. Soon she will be sending me photos of the kids receiving the Beanies. :smile:
 
I just mailed a box of Beanies and plan to send more items. What a great program! :thumb:
 
That is great! I told some family members about the program and they will be sending items too.
 
B4B

I just sent all our beanie babies off to new homes...:smile:.

Thanks for letting us know about "B4B", WAMom68.
 
My parents and some other friends contributed several boxes to this program a couple of years ago. I'm so glad to see it is going strong. Especially since we still have some of this (more than some) around :) Do they still have the restriction on "religious" beanies do you know?
