Well, first we need people to volunteer. Then those volunteers look for "Adopt a family" agencies in your area. You tell us about the agencies, and we make sure it's all legitimate.

We send check or Paypal to the community reps. ... more
I volunteer! I am very resourceful, and I know how to find all that info out! Only thing I am wondering is about discreetness, I don't really want to go to my people and say, "Hey! My Sex Toy Community is funding me to adopt a family!"

Haven't gotten past this post yet, but just wondering!

Last year when my theatre group helped out a family, we bought things in bulk off ebay, they had a little girl in a size 9-10.
So we bought clothing in bulk for her, along with a little suitcase-ish ... more
Sam's Club is great for bulk shopping as well Not sure if they have clothes and stuff though, do they just have food?

The ones I've been in have clothes as well. Kids clothes a-plenty and outerwear for adults mostly. Not much, if any, for plus sized people though. That always aggravated me a bit. But otherwise, great deals on bulk food and necessaries like toilet paper, medicine, and toiletries.

I wasn't able to make the meeting last night but I have to agree with everyone that I love the idea of adopting a family for the holidays. I got teary eyed reading Victoria's post.

I would just like to add something here... This group started out talking about Contests and Games, but the possibilities are endless. I think after a few more meetings when everyone (myself included) has a better sense of how things operate, we can do a lot of interesting and meaningful endeavors!

An idea that came to mind today after I first read through this thread... 'community workshops'. I will bring that up next time!

Oh! I that idea!

And we're only limited by our own imaginations. Activities for community members, meaningful projects, super fun contests, ideas to make the status quo better, etc! So exciting!

I second this and am excited to be a part of it

Did I ever say I love this place?!

Exactly, that is why I think the forum is perfect for these discussions. Anyone who wants to can read the thread, chime in, and share their thoughts for two weeks until the next meeting.
