Ideas on how to get started
-
Involve
the members of any organization or
clubs you may belong to such as your Senior Citizens
Center, Garden Center, Book Club, Women's or Men
Groups, etc., and get them involved in your efforts.
-
If you are a teacher, scout leader,
day care provider. use this as a project for your
children to challenge
them to collect as much change or money
as possible. Offer a certificate for the most
collected and the dollar amount collected. It
can also assist them in math skills by counting
the money.
-
Ask you
local churches
if they are collecting items for Haiti or funds.
Some churches are creatingRelief Packages with
essential needed items in them, items are placed
in a gallon ziploc bag: Shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush,
comb, nail clippers, bandages, hand towel, and
body wash.
-
Have everyone bring in their change
or funds they collect in a month for the cause.
Make a donation in the name of your organization.
-
Have an event and ask them to
donate funds. Make checks payable to an organization
sponsoring this cause or donate online.
