In order to know for sure that the shelters receive the gifts, I enclose a check with the package. I know that the shelter received the gifts when I see that the check was cashed. It doesn't have to be for a lot, I usually send whatever it would cost me to insure the package plus a couple of more dollars. It is a win win situation for everyone if you do this. You win because you know that the shelter received the package and the shelter wins because they get a little bit of much needed money. [MT] [Posted in FML 6577]
