Hmmm...How about kids clothes?

Thanks to all who have organized this. I have seen some of the damage in Central Indiana and the need is great. My Sister's church lost everything in the school there. They had 9ft of water. Came to find the link to donate. Again, Thanks!

I just made my donation!!! I hope I don't win back my donated prize though, LOL!!! That would be funny!! Do we get an update on the progress of the raffle?

I know last time I asked it was around $5,000, but that was through Thursday. I'll see if I can get Daven to post an up-to-date total today. :D

We've had more people contact us wanting to donate to the cause, and I've added more images to the gallery. Everyone's so generous, and it feels really good to be a part of this. Thanks, peggysue, for all of your efforts on organizing this, and to everyone who's opened their hearts (and wallets, too!) for this cause.

That is fantastic Jenn!! Thanks!!:D

Wow, that's great! And its really Jenn who is doing all the work. :) And the generous folks donating and buying non-raffle tickets! :)

YEAH! I'm so honored to be a part of a community that reaches out to others!

Too funny you mentioned that.. my hubby was gone when I had send the email/picture to Jenn about the stamp sets I was donating.. when he got home I showed him and he laughed and said.. "maybe you'll win your donation!" how funny ~ thanks again for all that donated in one way or another.

Pam

thanks
 

as somebody that was greatly affected by the floods here in iowa (i live in cedar rapids) i think this is so nice. we got so much help from the red cross. they helped people in more ways then i ever thought.

thanks for thinking of us midwesterners

Donations to midwest
 

I'm a total newbie here and having a bit of a challenge navigating the site. I'm not sure I have the hang of replying. I'm not even not sure if this is the right place to post this, but if not, please let me know. The flood relief non-raffle sounds like SUPER IDEA. Thanks so much for all you are doing, including encouraging donations the the Red Cross, etc.

In the past on another stamping forum I used to belong to, when there was a disaster like a flood, tornado, or fire that effected people we knew from the forum (or people that they knew) where they lost all their belongings including beloved stamps and crafting supplies, we all got together and sent them used stamps and extra supplies from our stamping stash to help lift their spirits AFTER they found places to live and began to piece their lives back together. Usually the contact person was someone from the affected area who worked in some sort of business (still intact) that let them use their business address as a collection location for both drop offs and mail ins. Does anybody have any ideas of whether this might work here?

Thanks,
Anita

Hi Anita, sorry I didn't see your question earlier.

That idea of yours has been done on this site in the past and it is a great idea. Usually a friend of someone who has been affected by a tragedy like a tornado or fire will start a thread to collect items to send them, as you suggested, ink, paper, stamps, etc., once they are settled in a new place.

The people on this site are very generous. :)

Thank PeggySue, It DOES seem like the folks here are amazing and generous. I'm still trying to find my way around the site. Where would I look so I would know if someone DOES start a thread to collect things for stampers who have lost all in the floods once they get settled (like what category/forum etc?)

Thanks!
Anita

Hey Jenn - any new update on the total raised so far?

I asked for one last night and haven't heard back. . . I'll ask again!

Anita, I would check the Need a Lift forum. I've seen things like that posted there.

Here is a link to that forum. SCS is a wonderful place! I'm glad you found it. I have made many wonderful friends and have been truly inspired here!

That's right, follow Laurie's advice. :)

Yippee, a new total coming soon!:D

bumping to the top :-) can't wait to see the new total to date !

Great cause, and thanks for putting all this together! My donation is in!

okay, sorry for the delay on an update. here's some unofficial numbers.

as of last night ( Monday 7/28 ) we had:

total donations: 399
net donations (after fees): $7,143.69

YIPPEEE :mrgreen:

C'mon ladies & gents- there's some GREAT prizes (or are they non-prizes ;) ) to be had!!

That is WONDERFUL!!!!
Daven, are you talking about paypal fee's? Is there any way to bump up the donation to cover said fees? :(

Wow, great news!

Thanks to all who have participated so far. And for those who haven't seen them, they need to check out the yummy non-prizes . . . in the gallery HERE

Thanks Daven! That is a great total so far!!!

it's been a while, but I think what we did last time was we covered the fees as Splitcoast's donation to the cause. maybe we'll have to hit up NameMedia before this is over as well :^)

Wow! What a faboo total so far!
Way to go, SCS members!! :D :D :D

How absolutely Fabulous to take care of people...My community was affect in December when Lewis County,( Washington) saw the worst floods EVER...My little grocerystore/Post Office Combo had 14 feet of water RUSH through it. people lost their homes, possessions, live stock, etc...There was only 1 death due to flooding....My community is proud too and lemme tell you...you all are doing a GREAT service !!!! Thank You!

WHOO HOO!!! That is awesome!!!

Thanks for the update Daven!!

This is OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I made my donation, twice, and I hope more people continue to come over and help out such a great cause!

Thanks to all of the people for their wonderful raffle items and to all of the SCS individuals for your donations!!!!!! I LOVE being a part of such a generous and caring family!

Barb

Good morning Barb & Barb!

This total is fantastic and the non-prizes are great too!

We have a few days left, so I hope the total keeps getting bigger!

Good morning bump!

This made me LOL!!!! Thanks for the laugh!

Yeah for the total!

How awesome! Thanks for all who have put their time, effort and donations into this worthy cause.

janet***

just bought my unraffles!!!!
 

How do you know who it was from? lol. I just paid through paypal. So happy to do anything to help you gals do this. So nice of you to organize this.

Susan :)

Loving the total so far... But I know us ladies at SCS can do much better!!! ;)

You know I'm sure that total is going to go up because it took a few days for my paypal account to process my non-raffle donation, so I'm thinking that will show up later. :)

Thanks to all the generous and big hearted ladies and gentlemen who donated their time, services, gorgeous stamped creations and have donated to the non raffle.

I just got mine in! I meant to do it earlier but I forgot. Sorry!!

Ok - just got my donation in. I think it's just wonderful how so many people are donating prizes and money for the cause. SCS rocks!!

Happy Thursday evening! :)

Good Friday morning!!!

Just wondering about getting another update on the total (if it's not too much of a pain)?
