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.
