“I just want to reference some of those recommendations that she made toward the back of the book. She said, ``Here are some ordinary things you can do to Stand for Children: Hold a yard sale and donate the proceeds to an after-school program; start a bus token drive at your school for students who cannot afford transportation costs to the school; organize a winter coat and shoe drive for children in need, or go through your toybox and donate some toys to another child or to a shelter; collect used children's books from your neighbors and donate them to children's programs or a child health clinic; ask your church, synagogue, temple, or mosque to open the building at night for children in the community who need tutoring; create a neighborhood garden or container garden on your block; write your State legislators and Governor, your representatives in Congress, and the President to tell them to put children's needs first.''”
