How do I find more donors?

How do I find christmas donors for famlies in need?

  • I was having a rough time a few months back and joined a few help groups and sites in an attempt to get some help with clothing and my childrens birthdays. I never received any donations but did find emotional support from the other group members. Seeing these other peoples stories made me want to do something to help. I dont have any money to give and have nothing to offer so I decided to start a group for people like me to post their needs. In a week ive gotten close to 40 members but out of them only 4 are members saying they want to be donors. The people in my group are not looking for money, they are families who need clothes, food, furniture, help around the house, and help with the holidays. They all have to complete an application and must provide verification at the donors request. I really want to see these people get the help they need especially at christmas, Im letting them all know about toys for tots and researching other toy drives, I just dont know how to get donors.

    Work with existing groups that already do this to maximize your efforts. Contact local churches and civic organizations to see how they do it and link to their services.

Try the lions club, ours donates to the community. Try your local church we do the local fuel bank and food bank, the homeless shelter are just a few of the places we donate to as a church. The local school, donates thanksgiving baskets each child bring in a tin for thanskgiving and the PTO make up baskets for the families who need help. The past few years on this have not been sucessful, we have had plenty of donations to feed a family for thanksgiving, but some of the needy families refused to take the baskets of food they wanted the cash instead. So the PTO sent out a email notice asking parents to donate money as well. Some parents went mad, as it appeared that these families were being ungrateful. Take into account there was enough food for 27 local families with food to last each for at least 2-3 weeks. We also do a coat drive at school, and a christmas toy drive. Try a swap club, clean hardly used items, could be swapped among member or a small price, or credit/point system. Colect the points and you can cash in for a free babysitting service from someone else in the group.
