6.22.17 We love donations of items, but sometimes it’s cold hard cash that helps us quickly fulfill the urgent needs lists of some of our favorite organizations. The following are items that were purchased this month with donated dollars:
Operation Underground Railroad Care Center in SLC –
A Costco cartful of snacks and easy/on-the-go foods. Then from Wal-Mart we purchased 44 sticks of Deodorant, 39 Hand Sanitizers, and a cartful of Maxi Pads, Tampons, Ramen, Soup, Easy-Mac, Tuna, and Fruit Cups.

By donating to SC&C you are in turn helping these and quite a few other organizations help those that need it most right here in Salt Lake County and we can’t thank you enough.

2.17.17 Today SC&C bought nearly 3,000 pairs of scissors from Office Max in Sandy for $0.20 each. Thanks for the head’s up on this awesome deal, Leslie Richards, this will be a great addition to our 2017 Back to School Supply Drive in August!
2.13.17 Today we delivered 15 of our rice bag warmers to The Lodge by Valeo (an inpatient hospice residence) in Salt Lake City for their patients and are looking forward to helping them all throughout the year.

1.29.17 Today our Vice President, Danielle Young, picked up 100 Corduroy, Paddington Bear, Curious George and Madeline stuffed dolls along with 100 matching books from Kohl’s in Riverton, Utah for $320.55. That makes them around $1.50 each! Thanks for the tip, Kelly Smith. It’s because of moms like you keeping an eye out for good deals that we can help so many other organizations and those in need in Salt Lake County.
1.21.17 Over the last week something pretty amazing happened. The moms of Sippy Cups & Chardonnay held a donation drive and gathered 80 bottles of vitamins, 80 Hot Wheels, 50 jump ropes, 50 bracelets, 40 soccer balls, 80 bottles of bubbles, 80 boxes of granola bars, 15 Rubbermaid containers, 50 wash cloths, 75 packages of markers, 50 bars of soap, 50 fun pencils, 50 notebooks, 60 packages of colored pencils, 75 boxes of crayons, 50 rulers, and 40 bags of candy to make aftercare packages for children rescued by Operation Underground Railroad and today two of our volunteers, Kelly W. and Esther Pruiksma, brought all those items and helped put together all the bags.
Wondering who the guy in the picture is? It’s Tim Ballard, the founder of Operation Underground Railroad, and today we made him a promise that Sippy Cups & Chardonnay would help them with anything they need locally. The things this man has done here in Salt Lake County as well as around the world is amazing and if you haven’t seen it, you should definitely make time to watch his movie, The Abolitionists.
1.14.17 Tonight’s Project Valentine Wine Night was a huge success! Twelve of our moms got together and sorted over 2,000 boxes of Valentine’s into 145 backpacks that will be delivered this week to Salt Lake County’s Title 1 Schools and The Road Home. Nice job ladies!!

12.21.16 Because of our awesome moms, 25 people in Salt Lake County had an amazing Christmas this year and I can’t thank them enough for all their hard work, especially at the last minute.

We arrived to The Road Home at 8am, cleaned, painted and cleaned some more in the women’s lounge area until noon, when we stopped for lunch.

You know we can’t pass up a good deal, so we bought, well, a lot and ended up with 1,017 hats, 1,427 pairs of gloves and 130 scarves.

Our moms hit every Walgreens, Walmart, BigLots, Target and Kmart throughout the valley and ended up donating just over 2,000 boxes of Valentine cards (pictured below) all purchased after Valentine’s Day at 90% off. Wondering what we do with that many Valentines? We ended up putting them in apples boxes donated from Sprouts in South Jordan, labeling them with the addresses of each of the 71 Title 1 schools in Salt Lake County as well as two for The Road Home in Salt Lake City and sticking them into storage to be delivered in January 2017 and handed out to children who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford them.

Four meals were dropped off at The Salt Lake County Children’s Justice Center in the Avenues, then three more at CJC’s West Jordan office and one in Murray today once again thanks to our amazing volunteers.
