The SkaterTots program was founded by Kyle Brubaker, currently a manager at Stone Edge Skatepark. Last holiday season, Stone Edge was a drop-off location for Toys For Tots donations. Unfortunately, we were not even able to fill an entire box. Kyle decided he would start collecting donations of new and used decks, trucks, wheels, helmets, pads, etc. to create a goal of 50 complete skateboards to be donated to the Toys For Tots program this December. Please help Kyle exceed this goal and give a child a new positive outlet in his/her life by donating any skateboarding equipment you may not be needing. I bet some of you have a few things collecting dust in the garage right now? I'm right, aren't I?
Today I was driving down US1 in South Daytona when a sign along the road caught my eye. The sign was advertising FREE CLOTHING FOR BACK TO SCHOOL. Free?! I thought to myself, "What a wonderful thing to do for someone". When you think about how many citizens in our area are practically the working poor; surviving paycheck to paycheck, barely getting food in the fridge, making magic out of canned goods...It's really reassuring to see such efforts being made to assist anyone in need. I wish more people would stand up and reach out to someone who could use a helping hand.
Community efforts can change lives and open doors we never thought could be un-locked. Please check out this website link http://www.freecycle.org/group/United%20States/Florida/Daytona%20Beach
It is a link to the Daytona Beach Freecycle group. "The Freecycle Network™ is made up of 4,565 groups with 5,634,320 members across the globe. It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (and getting) stuff for free in their own towns and thus keeping good stuff out of landfills.
Membership is free, and everything posted must be FREE, legal and appropriate for all ages. To view the items being given away or sought in Daytona Beach, you must be a member of the local group."
