Containers for the items will be located at both entrances. We need: spools, pill containers, blocks, magazines, catalogs, adult size socks, paint stirrers, cups & cans with plastic lids, sequins, little beads, 20 oz. plastic sport bottles, poker chips, marbles, small glass or plastic jars with screw on lids, empty cereal boxes, two liter soda bottles, sturdy shoe boxes, empty small or large facial tissue boxes, coffee cans.
