What Binky Patrol Is, What it is NOT.

Susan Finch, Founder, President | There are two sides to the faces of Binky Patrol | About Us > From the section: News
October, 2013 |

There are two sides to the faces of Binky Patrol: Those who receive binkies and those who make and deliver binkies. Most people know we give to ANY CHILD or TEEN in need of comfort - there is no judgment as to why they need comfort, what caused their circumstances: rich, poor, sick, sad, hurt, Christian, Muslim, LDS, Hindu, Buddhist, agnostic, athiest, gay, straight. Don't care, don't care, don't care.  Same goes for our volunteers When someone has a giving heart, the time to make a difference and they can spell, compose a good sponsor letter and press release (or can get a volunteer who can help them with their chapter) - we want them! THE KIDS NEED THEM! We need people who step out of themselves, their pettiness, their smallness and look at the unselfish picture and mission of touching lives with a gift to remind these recipients they are LOVED and not INVISIBLE.

Do you hear that? We want all types of volunteers. Just because I'm Catholic and my volunteers are various other denominations, creeds, etc. still makes us all the same if we have the same non-egotistical, non-judgmental mission to HELP BRING COMFORT TO CHILDREN AND TEENS IN NEED. This is the end of this discussion. It's not open for debate.

On the pity pot? Lonely for a group of quality people? Just moved somewhere? We may be your organization. A lot of freedom, but some pretty strict guidelines. Most of them are stated above. If that works for you - WELCOME!

Sincerely,

Susan Finch, Founder
