Update (and new Chart? chart) for those wishing to donate for Adopt-a-Shelter.
1. Change to the address you should ship to (minor - if you already shipped, don't worry about it):
Mitch Albom Christmas Party
c/o Salvation Army/Booth Services
3737 Humboldt
Detroit, MI 48208
If you can, forward the tracking info to timetohelpmitch@gmail.com
2. I got numbers on the ages of the kids who will be at the shelter, so you can decide for yourself what target to hit:
| Age | Boys: | Girls: |
|---|---|---|
| Infant | 9 | 6 |
| 2 | 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 8 | 2 |
| 4 | 4 | 4 |
| 5 | 3 | 0 |
| 6 | 3 | 2 |
| 7 | 1 | 3 |
| 8 | 3 | 1 |
| 9 | 2 | 3 |
| 10 | 3 | 1 |
| 11 | 0 | 3 |
| 12 | 0 | 1 |
| 13 | 0 | 2 |
| 14 | 0 | 0 |
| 15 | 0 | 2 |
| 16 | 0 | 2 |
| 17 | 1 | 0 |
So lots and lots of toddlers and infants. Very short on boys +10 (which sucks because we just got a lot of cool t-shirts). Teenage girl gifts are in short supply.
The chart MAST-AH
Misopogon, just to make sure I do this correctly, I can buy a bunch of diapers and just ship them there, right? Seems like the need is greatest in that department.
