Wouldn’t it be cheaper to just buy new crayons?

First thing a liberal does is hire staff, an office, computers, supplies on taxpayers dime, then do the things they’re supposed to on the ten percent of funds that are left.

[Mr. K]

Just the gas alone to go get crayons from one location would cost more than a whole box.

Is this one of those made-up stories that get planted in the news to see who falls for it?

I bet democrats want to start a new government program for this, though.

[cuban leaf]

Human interest story with no real-world relevance.

[wbill]

Yep. Sounds like a good way to separate the gullible from their money.

Hey - everybody has to have a cause - how else can one feel superior to his - or her - fellow man........

[cuban leaf]

I was thinking of going door to door to get people’s Keurig cups to do something with them, you know, for the poor. How about using hot glue and making them into platform shoes for the poor?

[b4me]

yes cheaper to buy crayons new, but there is likely other things going on behind the scenes at this “non profit” org that benefits the fonder and others. plus it gets tax exempt status and maybe grants etc.

[TADSLOS]

LMAO.

I visited the Crayola factory in Winfield, Kansas./

They melted all the rejects into one batch = Raw Umber.

[arrogantsob]

Those crayons suck. Give me the real McCoy, Crayola.

She wants to be seen as a benign, female Robin Hood.
Harvesting the waste products from
‘money-mad’
capitalists, and giving them back to the community, free of charge! Spreading the wealth, as it were.
“Look @ Me, I’m the Queen of Crayons!”

[lee martell]

Hope she has a lot of Febreeze available in her apartment after melting all that dyed wax. Volunteers may even get ‘Wax-Lung’ if it existed.

[oh8eleven]

gives them to people who can’t afford them.
C'mon, in today's America there are people who can't afford a dollar box of crayons?
BS.

[rstrahan]

Maybe she sends them overseas? But still, cheaper to buy a box of crayons.

[Two Kids' Dad]

It’s not about the crayons, it’s about the virtue signaling and the need to get kudos from her fellow leftists.

“Look at me, I’m helping the poor children.”

If one buys school supplies at this time of year one can buy them all for a fraction of the regular cost. Right now Office Depot/Office Max has boxes of Crayola 24 pack crayons for sale for $.50. They have Crayola markers for $1. They have notebooks for $.25. And more. Staples has sales as well, as does Walmart, Target, Family Dollar, and Dollar. There is no need to melt down crayons while paying yourself and staff a salary. I could be wrong, but it sounds like yet another poverty pimp working in the Poverty industrial complex.

[JusPasenThru]

Her donations no doubt wax and wane.

[monkeybrau]

It’s about the *feelings* not the crayons. A bizarre world-view I can’t relate to, but some people will squander vast resources out of a desire to deify themselves in their own mind.

[scottiemom]

Or maybe string telephones?
