CLOSED: Donation inquiry - Duluth MN flood victims - Feeler post

Im not sure where to post this (and if I am breaking any rules here please let me know)

I am collecting donations for flood victims in the Duluth, MN area. Have collected mostly clothing thus far. Then I though about all the destruction to property and what a chore that will be to rebuild and I though of the wonderful 'family' I have here.
I would like to put a feeler out there to find out how many people would be interested in sending trees, plants or seeds to people who lost everything in the floods. Time frame I am guessing would be next spring (April/May 2013). I would obtain addresses of people who need and provide shipping information to anyone here who would like to help out. Shipments would go directly to flood victims who are rebuilding (not to me).
Postage would *potentially* be tax deductible - just save your receipt.

If you are interested in helping out - please d-mail me with a subject line of "Duluth".

Again - right now this is only an idea of mine - dont know if it will come to fruition or not - and this is a "feeler" post just to get an idea of who here may be willing to help.

I know we all have things we want to thin out - instead of composting it - donate it :)

Thanks all!

Count me in on the project. I will Dmail you.

Thanks :)

We all belong to DG because we love our gardens so there's no way I couldn't be a part of bringing some joy to others who were so stricken with the floods.

count me in.

Count me in & I will prob. have an abundance of maple tree seeds in the fall. I could prob quit chopping down the ones trying to grow thru the deck & send them down. I'll d-mail you. :)

I was weeding last night and notices the same thing. :) maple and oak. Thank you!

Count me in.

Steph, I'll be glad to send plants next Spring. Give me a nudge when you're ready.

Count me in for next spring....

Just wanted to let you all know, there was no interest from the Duluth area to continue with this project.
Thank you all for being willing to help out :)

Sorry to know that.

Steph, just saw this post. Hope everything went well despite the disaster. Mike
