STAMPS

 Please deposit used postage stamps, both United States and foreign, in or beside this box.  Bring either entire envelope or cut paper about 1/2 inch around the stamps.  The stamps will then be organized and sold to dealers.  The money will go to CWF.

Ask relatives and friends to save at home; secretaries and mail distribution departments at work; and ask places with customer service where people mail in orders or bill payments.  This is an easy way to donate without spending money.
