Does anyone know of a good place that I can donate food,clothes that I don't wear anymore and my kids can't fit a place that I can donate to the families who lost everything in the hurricane to those people and how would they be able to accept those donations?I have went through stuff I can't fit nomre and my kid's can't either and it is ready for donation I just need to know where can i drop off this stuff to the famnilies in need can somebody give me a suggestion?


I donated to the Humane Society of GA. They were the only ones helping the ANIMAL victims of Katrina, as I far as I know...poor creatures...

The Red Cross is the best, and safest, org. to donate to. That way, you know where your money is going and that it IS going to those people. Watch for scams...sadly, some people like to try and capitalize on disastors like this. :roll:

We will donate the whole money collected in Debt Samaritan Club to Red Cross by the end of this month. You can also donate your points to the club. I wish money could do everything but sad it doesn't make everything happen. Money can give some support to the family who suffered major losses. May God help everyone.

Please keep in mind that we don't all have to wait for a natural disastor in order to donate! YOu can make a donation at any time; they are always needed! If we donate enough, there won't be an emergency for donations at the time of such a disastor! I try to donate $200 each to three organizations every year. For me this year, it was PETA, a women's domestic violence support group and a Native American charity. Nothing feels better than giving to those in need!

I try to help students who are in need of money as I feel I can reach to many with the same theme through a kid.

The kid goes out to colleges, offices, churches, communities and tries to help others. I know some organization specially working among students and struggling for funds, I pray and help them as much as I can.

Thanks

I always make donations no matter what take my kids school fund raiser I payed for alot of cookie dough I didn't need plus I use to donate my clothes to the salvation army even if it is a small donation like for the breast cancer donation I always donate what I can I keep in mind of others that are in need and if I really don't need it I donate thats why I am trying to donate the clothes and things that me and the kids don't need but I want to make sure it get's to the right place because I feel for all who is suffering and is struggling I am not a stingy person if I have it to give I will give!I just really want to give the clothes away because some people need it more than me!
