August 14, 2018 – GALENA, Illinois<\/b> – Poopsie\u2019s, a funky, fun retailer that\u2019s been an anchor of Galena\u2019s historic Main Street shopping district for more than 25 years, used a world renowned book about creativity and how it grows to help those in need in the Galena area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Poopsie\u2019s donated $5 of each sale of Kobi Yamada\u2019s 2014 book <\/span>What Do You Do With An Idea?<\/span><\/i><\/a> to Galena\u2019s Women & Friends Making a Difference. That group was formed in 2017 to work with lower income individuals and families by providing food and clothing and information on to make healthier choices.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Yamada\u2019s book tells the story of a child who brings a brilliant idea into the world. As the child\u2019s confidence grows so does the idea until it breaks free, adding color to his once dull life. The final line of the book is a message for everyone. \u201cWhat do you do with an idea? You change the world.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The book is one of Poopsie\u2019s best sellers and the store rallied its customers to donate to Women & Friends\u2019 grocery drop-off project.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe funds were used to help bring healthy food options to families that have very few options on a given day, especially in the summer months when school is not in session,\u201d Poopsie\u2019s owner Alana Turner said. \u201cWe hope that not only will it give them food for their table, but that it will inspire these families to sit down together more often for their family meals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Poopsie\u2019s has been the gateway store of Main Street in Galena, Illinois, for more than 25 years. Galena\u2019s Main Street has been named one of America\u2019s best Main Streets by Fodor\u2019s Travel Guides and the Huffington Post.<\/span><\/p>\n
