Megan Schillinger Grad Project: Today,

Today,

I have just been looking at websites that might have any information about the Salvation Army and what I could possibly do my graduation project on involving them. Toys for Tots may be a good idea, Red Kettle would be nice too. I'm just not sure what I'll be allowed to do. I don't know if they allow young volunteers to help out with these things. I hope they do because i would like to do my project on this. I think it would be a good idea and I just like to help out. I don't have any questions yet though so I'll have to start thinking of those soon.
