Over the past week or so I have been working on a Champions For Kids Simple Service Project. I have been working on the Spinbrush Spin Into Action campaign that has been designed to help children smile. Once I learned about this project and that tooth decay is one of the most common diseases of childhood, I knew I wanted to help.
With the Spinbrush Spin Into Action campaign, I was to gather friends and family to provide toothbrushes, toothpaste and other dental care items for my community. I then was to give the dental care items that I collected to an organization in my community that serves children so that the children can celebrate with healthy smiles and happier lives.
This campaign started with a little shopping trip to Walmart. This past week has been super busy so I asked a group of my fellow online mom bloggers to help me with this campaign. A couple days ago I asked the members of the MomDot Community for a $1 contribution so I could visit the Dollar Store to gather more dental care donations for my box. In just minutes I received some donations that would help add to the donations in box.
Yesterday I made a trip to the store again to buy dental care products with the donation money I received from my online friends.
Once I got home I put the dental care products I bought in my donation box. When my youngest children seen what was in the donation box, they got excited. I had to let them know that these particular toothbrushes were going to be given to little boys and girls who need them.
Today I donated my Spinbrush Spin Into Action donation box to the Children’s Receiving Home Of Sacramento. When I think of places in my community that need and deserve the extra help, I think of this particular place. This is a place that provides a safe haven for children and also provides hope and healing for children and their families who suffer from the effects of abuse and neglect.
I decided to take my children with me to make the donation. When pulled in, we seen a helpful sign that showed us which way to go to donate.
Once I got to the Donation Shed, I was a little bummed there wasn’t anyone there to receive my donation. I knocked on the door but nobody answered, but there was a spot to leave your donation. My first thought was that they weren’t going to know who donated it. I then remembered I had my business card in my wallet so I added one of my cards to the box.
I then placed my donation in the Donation Shed and took a picture…
When we were driving away my youngest two children had more questions on where we were and why was I leaving these cool Hello Kitty and Superman toothbrushes in this shed. It felt good telling them what we were doing and I hope they remember years from now that we made this donation to help other kids in need.

That’s great. Not that any think about this as something that needs to be donated.
What a wonderfully charitable thing to do and it teaches your kids about charity and the importance of oral hygiene. With all the coupons out there, you can get some of this stuff for free and donate it to make a difference for someone else.
How nice that the online community contributed to your cause! That’s wonderful. Looks like you chose a very deserving charity, too. 🙂
Great donation and I bet they get put to good use!
