One more, Dakota Boys Ranch, Minot North Dakota  Interesting to note that the role of so many of these organizations has shift from serving the orphans, abused and abandoned to chemical dependency assistance. |

Minot is a great town. They have a wonderful central park (not the name of park) and a really good zoo for the size of the community.
Worth a stop if ever in that area.
I don't know if the Dakota Boys Town still exists or not! |

Apparently it still exists, albeit under a slightly different name: http://www.dakotaranch.org/index.phpAside from this, does anyone still know if any of these organizations (i.e. Boys Town, Dakota Ranch, etc.) still issue any of these seals/labels/stamps? |

wt1,
Most charity stamps were sent out for the holiday mailing season. The sheets were inexpensive to produce and provided a nice source of funding. I think most of these organizations now send out return address labels printed with your name and address. I receive these by the truckload prior to the holidays. I think I would rather have the stamps but progress marches on. |

Just found these modern "Girls and Boys Town" self adhesive seals. Yes, they were attached to the bottom of a set of address labels, but I think the seals qualify as cinderellas apart from the address labels:  Yet another self-adhesive set from the same series, but instead of address labels, Christmas gift labels were added:  |
