NEWBURGH – A southern Indiana woman who created a donation spot where people could leave clothes, toys and other items for those in need has closed it down after a “Grinch” swiped all of the donations in a single night.
Newburgh resident Janet Richard started “The Giving Wall” on a retaining wall near her home where people were encouraged to leave donations so that others in need could take what they needed on the honor system.

NEWBURGH, Ind. A southern Indiana woman who created a donation spot where people could leave clothes, toys and other items for those in need has closed it down after a “Grinch” swiped all of the donations in a single night.
Newburgh resident Janet Richard started “The Giving Wall” in early December on a retaining wall near her home.
But the Evansville Courier & Press reported Monday that Richards decided to shut it down after someone visited the wall twice Sunday night and took off with all the items that had been left there by others.
There is no better way to get a jolt of happiness, this time of your or all year long, than to help others and give to someone in need. That is exactly what Janet Richard s family and the entire community have been doing. They have given so much, they should all feel pretty good by now.
Janet put up
The Giving Wall along the rock wall, on the sidewalk in front of her house. The wall was a wonderful idea during this very difficult time. Now, more than ever, so many around us are struggling financially. Even the little things we take for granted can be unattainable when you are desperate.
