We are also looking for Make-up Sponges, as well as blue and yellow tabards (double-sided with each color would be perfect - 10 of these). We are also looking for extension cords in variety of lengths (25-ft, 50-ft and 100-ft). If you have any questions about the above donations needs, please contact Traci Matson for more details!!
Ashton (Cincinnati/Dayton area) - We are taking the following donations: DOUBLE GOBLIN STAMPS for Arrow, Alchemy and Spell packets; elf ears; Mystic Wood Elf horns; pig noses and bugbear ears. We're also looking for claws and good quality longswords. How can you tell good quality? If your PC wouldn't use it because it weighs too much, chances are we won't consider it good quality!! Please contact Jillian Black for more details on the shields or anything else that was listed above.
Lumberton (Cleveland Area) - Please see the Wheeling Area needs or contact Stacey Poklemba for more details!

Remember, just because it's not listed doesn't mean we won't take it! If you have something to donate and aren't sure if we will take it or not, just contact us via e-mail or give us a call and we'll let you know if we're interested!
