If you would like to send in any items to go towards a basket, that would be wonderful. I deeply appreciate this. Listed below are some of the baskets already in progress and maybe not completed. You can, if you'd like, make up a new basket title. We may need to rearrange some items so all fit and make a complete basket. Please, to help us be organized and so we can get pictures of all the Baskets and Big Ticket Items displayed for all to see, please try and have items to us BY MAY 31st. This is much appreciated! It takes time to get all this done.
