HUH?!? Instead of throwing them away, participants can donate them. They are cleaned\u00a0up,\u00a0sanitized, and then given to people who could really use them! I know it sounds weird, right? But you know, sometimes the\u00a0<strong>things that we throw away,\u00a0are treasures for other people<\/strong>.
