Like you need another pair of jeans?
Do you really need to upgrade to a titanium Mac?
And $76 at Duane Reade? What, are you Maybelline’s new patron saint?
Okay. You’re not going to stop buying things. But what do with it all when you’re done?
Out with it! Take that mousy old IBM, those video games you’ve played one too many times, all that plummy stuff you’ve amassed, and send it all to a good cause. There are kids out there who’d love it!
So get out the packing tape, call a messenger, do what you need to do, because Ramapo Anchorage Camp, an amazing refuge up in Rhinebeck, New York, works with emotionally disturbed kids, and can really use the things you can spare. All you need to do is grab a box. Ramapo needs computers (hardware and software), art supplies, backpacks, batteries, disposable cameras, costumes, duffel bags, flashlights, board games, swimming goggles, composition books, sporting equipment, rain gear, sleeping bags, sneakers, tents, toiletries (toothpaste, shampoo, etc.), videos, and so on.
Together, you and the U.P.S. man could make a little kid’s summer.
