Last Chance to Help Local Non-Profit Aid Sandy Victims

In the past decade, the Bedford family foundation, Color My World has donated more than $33,000 in goods to families affected by the Indonesian Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, Kate Earthquakes in Haiti, China, Chile and aid for Africa.

Color My World has also distributed in excess of $2,000 locally to projects and families in need in New Hampshire supporting Angie's Shelter and New Horizons in Manchester. Currently the foundation is shipping hygiene kits to help people impacted by Sandy. Color My World is accepting part or complete Hygiene Kits consisting of:

• 4 Toothbrushes
• 2 Bar of Soap
• 2 Hand Towel
• 1 Tube of Toothpaste
• 2 Combs
• Packed in a 1 gallon zip lock bag

The organization is in major need of toothbrushes and toothpaste.

The project runs through today, Nov. 15.  Drop off locations include the YMCA Goffstown, YMCA Manchester, Trinity High School, Bedford Positively at the Bullock Agency, 11 Meetinghouse Road in Bedford (a box will be placed outdoors for “drive-by drop-off” through Nov. 15), Girl Scouts of America Green and White Mountains.  If you see the Model T with Bedford Positively signs and want to drop something there, you are more than welcome to do that as well.

Color My World Foundation of Bedford is a non-profit 501(c)3, tax deductible organization operated solely by The Hughes Family of Bedford, NH.  More information can be found at www.colormyworldkids.org.
